I was wondering about what is the largest amount of RAM a reliable
X86 motherboard (preferably a I32 one) can take. ~
There are mobos out there with 4 RAM slots, so buying 1Gb sticks will
easily give you a 4Gb box, but I wonder what would people do when they
need more RAM in a regular X86 box

The total amount of RAM a mainboard can take is set at manufacture and it
will be mentioned in the specifications of the board (including the type
of RAM). To touch on the other part of your question, for example, if
there are two slots and you have two 128's and the board is capable of 1G,
then you would have to replace the two 128's with two 512's. In any case,
one can only use as much RAM as the board was designed to use. Memory must
be compatible with the speed and form factor required by the board. So,
you need to check the specs of the specific board to answer your question
about how much RAM it can use. There are some old boards where memory
sticks must be added in pairs but you probably aren't thinking about one
of them.
