Hi, does anyone know the difference between these two boards? I'm trying to findf out whether RAM sticks that work with one, will work with the other.

There seems to be some confusion in the RAM configurators about whether the Extreme9 (non ac) board even exists!

ASRock don't seem to have a straightforward product enquiry email.

Any ideas?

The /ac is their wifi feature, so it has an inbuilt wifi card (802.11ac WiFi), There is no Z87 Extreme 9 from my knowledge of ASRock, just the /ac version. But if there is just the extreme9, it will have no wifi card.

-As long as the ram is DDR3 and is a supported speed, it'll work. And you can have 2/4 ram stick in at a time and they'll work. The motherboard runs in dual channel so having 2/4 sticks in at a time runs best.
