This is the RAM module I was thinking about for that mini-ITX board to achieve 32gb:

They already have some 32gb modules out, looks like its going to be some crazy 2015 year!
As I mentioned, that is
Registered (sometimes also referred as "buffered" alternatively, it's the same thing)
ECC ram, shortly
RDIMM, of DDR3 generation, and has been available for many years now.
It's not compatible with mainstream boards/chips (the memory controler is on chip) but only those that do support this sort of memory( intended in 95perc. only for server grade chips, for Intel Xeons, and AMD Opterons predominantly).
Non-registered "
UDIMM" memory modules both DDR3 and DDR4 still only come in 8GB modules top, this is because the major ram manufacturers (like Samsung) don't manufacture more than 4GB ram ICs, and those are stacked into 8GB modules for UDIMMs.
Higher than this is also issue for mainstream chips who don't posses necessary output drivers ( server chips do ), and why higher-density chips are registered to allow distributing the signals on the DIMMs to free up the CPU of doing so.
This will not change for DDR3, which is at the end of its cycle. DDR4 will probably come out with 16+GB modules in mainstream UDIMMs next year, although only latest and high-end platforms like LG-2011-3 will support those.
TL;DR Notes:
Mainstream CPU chips (AMD FX series, i3/i5/i7/etc...) + RDIMM = Not compatible
16GB UDIMM (same chips as above) ram modules = 2015+, only DDR4, probably only high-end platforms (LG 2011-3 but NOT Broadwell)
