Hi Self Hosting Lemmings!

I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my 3-node proxmox cluster and could use some advice. I have 3 HP ProDesk 600 G3 Mini PCs that claim to support up to 32GB of RAM. However, I would really like to upgrade to 2x32GB for 64GB total.

Is it possible to run with more RAM than the recommended amount? If so, are there any problems I might run into? Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks!

If the machine supports up to 32GB RAM, it probably only has the hardware for 32GB RAM. Maybe it only has 25 address lines for RAM.
