ASUS Z9PE-D8 Question

[DolphinsDan]

Hey guys - I was reading the recent review here ASUS P9X79-E WS Review

I do want to build may next workstation as a Hyper-V test server with Windows 8.1. Reading the comments on the review, the Z9PE-D8 can handle 2 processors right? When I looked up the motherboard on ASUS's specifications page it only can take 64GB of RAM maximum. Seems too low for a dual processor system. Is this right? Why only 64GB?

Limit is 64GB unbuffered non ECC ram or 256GB of Registered ECC (using 32GB RDIMMS). I'm guessing ASUS web editors only looked at the non-ECC limit. 30 seconds with google shows at least two build-logs on this board with 128GB (8x16GB RDIMMs which are much more reasonably priced than 32GB).

OK I want to try this one out now
