If I was to build a new system anytime soon I would go with nothing less than 12gb of ram.
Isn't that often the maximum amount of ram on a desktop board?
That is a firmware limitation only.
The x58 chipset can support higher than that, but the motherboard makers themselves are not at the present time.

In fact, with the first batch of i7 motherboards to hit the market, they required a firmware update just to support 12GB, even though they were labled 24GB capable.
