    I suspect the limit is a feature of your motherboard.

    Normally no. Maybe a later BIOS revision might have increased it but I doubt it.

    You have got two choices; acer might have a bios update that will access more ram or find a new board that will fit in that case - I don't like your chances because it's motherboard seems to be smaller than a micro ATX
