Does it support bifurcation in the 16x slot?
What is the max installable RAM?
I’m pretty sure the video Wendel did on it he said it cannot do bifurcation on the x16 slot. Then looking at the product page, it looks like 64GB is the max amount of memory supported.

Sorry, I missed the boiler snake’s desire for extra stuff like bifurcation at the end, so I guess not.
So a GPU for VM pass through in x16, and using one of the NVMe slots for a 10Gb NIC, that works too.
OK, so 2 x 32GB SO-DIMMs, ECC would have been nice though.
I’m thinking that this will be an awesome PVE server node, two of these in a dual mini-itx 2U case sounds like a solid pair of compute nodes.
Thanks for the feedback.
@BillM Just FYI with the latest BIOS 1.04. You can now setup bifurcation on the 16x slot in various different modes as well as set the PCIe version the slot runs in.

Warning though, there’s a difference between can and works as intended
Hi, I can confirm that with BIOS 1.05 bifurcation is working, there is option x4x4x4x4 of pci lane seting. I can see 4 nvme drives in lspci output. I used Asus Hyper M2 x16 Card.
