I placed an order but the max ram writen on the website seems to indicate 64GB max. But out of curiosity, is it possible to upgrade to 2x48GB or 2x64GB DDR5-5600 on the framework 16? Will it be support by the motherboard?

As as far as I check the Ryzen 9 7940hs does support up to 256GB of ram.

Crucial currently has the 48Gb dimm available.

I'm not aware of any 64GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs in existence. As it is, Micron/Crucial's 48GB DIMMs are still pretty new. 64GB DIMMs do exist in the server space - They have for at least the last few years that I can recall... Sure they'll be available for desktops and laptops sooner rather than later.

For reasons I outlined in a reply to a another reply below, I'm intending to go 96GB on my FW16 absent reports of new problems with Linux support emerging between now and Batch 5 shipping.
