But still unless you are using the Xeon chips I don't think the 5820/5930/5960 can support more than 64GB if I am not misaken.

The i7-5820K/5930K/5960X can each address up to 1TB of physical RAM. As can the LGA2011-3 Xeon procs (some of which can be mounted onto multiprocessor motherboards which increase maximum addressable memory).
I suspect the RVE could theoretically address up to 1TB, assuming (lol) that 8x128GB DDR4 kits ever become available, and I suspect smaller memory limits would be caused more by firmware than by hardware (thus I suspect that firmware updates will support larger memory capacities as such memory becomes available). It's probably the very same chunk of essential EUFI code Asus uses across all its X99 motherboards (so I expect anything memory-specific they devise for the X99-E WS can be cross-compiled onto their other X99 models as needed).
It's what we saw on most "first wave" motherboards when migrating to DDR3, and when migrating to DDR2 before that.

We already have a UEFI build that helps with 128GB (been working with Corsair and Patriot).
