It is difficult to answer this, as the answer changes over time, and as it depends so much on the specific computer and chipset. Modern computers use a type of RAM called DDR2 or DDR3, and both Intel and AMD computers are being shipped now (2012) in each variety. (Note that a computer that is designed to take DDR2 will not accept DDR3, or vice versa.) Generally, in the past, all computers used the same types of RAM at the same time, moving from DRAM through SDRAM to DDR and DDR2, and now DDR3, though there was a time when Intel decided to use something called RDRAM, which AMD chose not to support.

Which Intel motherboard supports the most ram?

You need to reword your question... I am assuming that you are asking which motherboards for Intel chips support the most RAM. I say this because Intel manufactures a super limited number of motherboards; moreover, these motherboards are not considered to be top notch compared to major brands such as ASUS or GIGABIT. ASUS, for instance, makes motherboards that support Intel and AMD chips -- to put it simply. Now on to the second part of your question... "which support the most RAM" Sadly, this question is poor too: you could be asking "how much RAM" or "how many different types of RAM" Because of this dilemma, I will answer both. Most Intel-based motherboards hold up to 8 Gigabytes of RAM, and some can hold up to 32 Gigabytes depending on make. Now, any one motherboard only "supports" one type of RAM; meaning, that the motherboard runs optimally on that very specific RAM type, but that's not to say that it can't use other RAM types in the same family (SDRAM, for instance), it just wont be able to take full advantage of the other types.
