This was the answer to your original (before it was edited) question

The memory thing is an odd one. Most software will not utilize much past 2-4GB at a time. This means with it would take quite a few things running all at the same time to even approach using more than 16-32GB of memory. The addressing of only 51 gigs of ram? I think someone misread the max memory bandwidth as max memory size; the chip supports up to 64GB with a max memory bandwidth of 51.2GB/s. The CPU has 4 memory channels; meaning it uses memory in clumps of 4 sticks (4 or 8 sticks).
