Is the maximum memory of a motherboard just for RAM, or video card memory too?

This mobo looks really nice with Crossfire, especially for its price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813186168

But if the 8 GB memory limit includes memory from video cards, then the maximum RAM limit is easily under 6 GB, since 1 GB cards are pretty common now. Which would make the board bad for multitasking..

So I am wondering.

That's max memory of system RAM.

Max of board only..If you have 32 bit os than about 3.5 is all the OS will see and use and that too includes hardware device memory.
