I figured this would be the most appropriate thread to post this instead of making a new thread well I guess I am posting in an sorta old thread.

ASUS M5A78L-M LX AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

I didn't see it on Newegg yesterday so there it is!

Yowsa  

From Asus
"" AMD FX Series CPU on this motherboard supports up to DDR3 1866MHz as its standard memory frequency ""

In reading through the asus spec tab I was not aware that the sb710 now comes with 6 x SATA 3Gb/s -- I wonder if that is a misprint ???.

thats great for them. pitty amd are still a full generation behind. but it should drive down prices which is a good thing.

Nope the photo clearly shows 6 sata ports.
<in for 1 myself>

Dyslexic synapse misfire on my part  

I though sb710 *SATA 6Gb/s* even while typing 3Gb/s x 6 ...

Granted, it's a Micro-ATX board, but can FX support more than two measly RAM slots?

I don't think that has anything to do with the processor  

That is a product of the motherboard itself (which reports max ram of 8GB, or 2x4GB). Most important, it notes DDR3 1866MHz support -- the IMC of BD-Z is purportedly 1866MHz stock.

I suspect dual-channel MBs with 4 DIMM slots at a minimum would support 16GB of RAMs, or 4x4GB. If you wish to go beyond that I imagine there are vendors/OEMs who would be more than happy to have you as a customer (I suspect 8GB sticks and motherboards might be a bit pricey   )

In 20+ years in IT, I have yet to see a "future-proof" design that lived up to expectations.

Just sayin'
