It does support 8GB however.

There's a sticker saying it will support a 1333 FSB and 45nm CPU's....LOL

Doesn't anyone check CPU support charts? P5B-Plus supports both dual and quad 45nm processors with the latest BIOS (1103 BETA). Check supported processor models.

There shouldn't be a problem using 8GB as long as you stay away from JEDEC-bending 'l33t overklokerz' garbage that must be plied with excessive voltage to operate reliably.
You should be fine with RAM that operates at JEDEC timings and voltage (1.8V +/- 0.1V), though you may ultimately need to settle for lower operating frequencies any time the maximum supported DRAM configuration is populated using unbuffered DIMMs (no matter the chipset).

Quick Update :
I spoke to chillblast ( here in the UK) they said to me dont even bother trying 8GB , they said it will be unstable and causes BSODs'
I am little miffed about the " yes it does - no it doesnt" conflicting statements :-(
The reason I am after 8GB is I do alot of Vmware testing.

you would trust a CSR, the probably is no better than a best buy CSR; to tell you that it doesn't work over Asus specifications?
The simple and easiest solution, would be if you already have the 8GB, try it. No go, replace the board...
4 x 2GB unbuffered modules are still hit-or-miss, even with newer chipsets like P35 and P45, due to electrical loading and other factors.Originally posted by: clarkey01
Im going to get a new MB I think to be honest :-(
According to this chart it supports both since 1102 bios. It says something about a chipset limitation but thats irrelevant sine the FSB would be well past that.
It may worrk if you mod it's bios using the commando's bios you extract the memory tables and p6 cpu microcode. Should be possible using MMTool I'll see what I can find.
