AMD A4/A6/A8 CPUs can only take 16GB of RAM

The motherboards for these CPUs claim upto 64GB of non-ECC RAM but in practice the Asus MBs have only verified 1, 2 or 4GB DIMMS.  With 4 memory slots, that is 16GB total.  In short the M/B only work with upto 4GB DIMMS and this applies to all ASUS FM slot M/Bs.

I tried putting in an 8GB DIMM and it was simply not recognized.  So much for 32GB, let alone 64GB of RAM in a A6 system.
