How much your system can have max, or ?

I'd say look at your screen when your computer boots up. One fo the first things it does is count up the RAM in the system. If you go into the BIOS setup, it'll show your RAM total under "basic setup" or something like that (The screen where you set up your hard drive and floppy).

the max amount it can have

Sandra reports what is actually installed.

Why not just check the Micro-Star site directly?

The link should be right there at the Mobo.org site.

in the sandra main board section it says max module size (it says 128mb) and max installable memory (256 mb)

right now i have 64 mb installed

I saw the board listed on several sites with a max RAM of 512MB. When I looked on MSI's site the link to the board wasnt functional. Either way 64M aint enough..lol. Get you a 128M pc100 stick, they are dirt cheap nowadays.
