ram issuse

8 slots for memory on an I7 board. that is VERY unusual.
The i7 boards usually have the memory slots come in groups of 3 ( 3 or 6 ) and people use 1G sticks for 3G or 6G, or 2G sticks for 6G or 12G.

I wonder of the extra two slots are for DD2 memory or something completely off the wall like that and you have to choose DD2 or DD3 memory but not both.
Just wondering why it would have such an odd number of slots for an i7 board.

looks more like six slots for ram.
again... use ddr3 ram.

It calls out 6 slots on the specs. Still not sure how they get 16 gigs max

Those extra slots can be used at the cost of switching back from tripple to dual channel. (Not really something you want to do with a game system)

Call or mail Gateway and ask them what brand/type of ddr3 modules the motherboard of this system is compatible with.
