Hi /wsr/
I've just bought this LGA1366 mothefucker dirt cheap. There is a cpu in the socket.
i'd like to use it with three 4GB 1600mhz DDR3 CL9 modules which I have to buy yet. The question is - Is the MBSCP01001 even capable of using the whole capacity of said modules? It looks old as fuck but the CPU is pretty fast and it would be a shame to bottleneck it with shitty ram.

Wrong question.
Memory controller in on the processor since LGA1366, so you need to see what the processor can handle. Similarly, the maximum memory clock is dictated by the processor model.
Apparently it's 4GB per slot, but don't quote me on that. Obviously server boards with Registered DIMMs (which I assume this isn't, because you'd check that shit, right?) can go higher, up to 32GB-per-slot if you're prepared to drop the memory clock a bit.

You probably already know this, but Sandy Bridge was to this what the 10x0 is to the 9x0.

Ok, there is stated that the CPU can handle up to 288GB of DDR3 800/1066/1333. No, it isn't a server board. Thanks.

It's still better than my current PC, trust me.
Is it possible to OC on this board though?

From a quick google check, your installed CPU is probably an i7-920 or 930 so expect 24GB max. 3x4GB should work, but I really don't know.
One of the unofficial specs I saw for that generation of Acer Predator is 6x2GB max.
Supposedly you should also be able to OC, but if you can't look this up yourself it's probably a bad idea for you.
