What is the maximum RAM for Core 2 Duo?

A:THIS PROCESSOR SUPPORT G31 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD [MAX 4GB DDR2 RAM] & G41 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD [MAX 8GB DDR3], YES IT SUPPORT PUB G, WITH G41 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD + 8GB RAM + 2GB GRAPHIC CARD.

Can I upgrade my RAM to 8GB with my Core 2 Duo processor?

Yes u can! I've upgraded my cpu Intel 2 core 2.8 gHz from 4 to 8GB and it runs Windows 10 without any problem.

Does E8400 support DDR3?

With a TDP of 65 W, the Core 2 Duo E8400 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface.

Can I use DDR4 RAM in Core 2 Duo?

Not possible as Core 2 Duo series does not support memory module above 1333fbs which was max at its time while DDR4 is associated with 6th gen i series and above which means processor will bottleneck if someone even try to combine together Core 2 series with DDR4 module.
