100%?


0% on 32 bit OS
also is the motherboard not the actual 'problem' with memory compatibility never the CPU

It's the motherboard? I thought it would be the CPU as it has the memory controller.

The memory controller will support it, but the motherboard may not.

its actually 100% just there exists a mathematical limitation for 32bit operating systems which allows only 4gb to be addressed.

max memory = 24gb

That "limit" was just because there were no 8GB modules at the time.
Depending on the board it will work with 48GB:
