My guess is (and this is only a guess and speculation on my behalf) that the motherboard BIOS is not quite good enough yet so the system would be unstable with 16GB of RAM, perhaps even 8GB!

My only concern is that a lot of AMD fanboys are going to be upset when Bulldozer is released. Let us all be realistic. Bulldozer will be a very good competitor to the 2600K and this is going to be the first time in many years that AMD compete with Intel's current Generation.

We all know that each Phenom revision as been a generation behind where it should be, so Bulldozer is certainly the turning point, but it is not going to be the miraculous holy grail a lot of fanboys on other sites are hyping it up to be.

That or they only had a 32bit disc of windows to hand to do a fresh install and had already plugged the RAM in
