ASUS M5A87 AMD 870 ATX Motherboard
The ASUS M5A87 is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD 870 chipset. It uses a Socket AM3 interface and supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 16GB. This board targets builders assembling or repairing systems based on that platform.
DDR3 memory limit and AM3 socket constraints
DDR3 modules are the only memory type this board accepts, and the chipset caps total capacity at 16GB. The Socket AM3 interface defines the physical and electrical limits for processor installation. No other memory generation or socket type will function with this hardware.
AMD 870 chipset determines compatibility
The AMD 870 chipset is the single specification that decides whether this motherboard fits a given build. It governs supported processors, memory standards, and onboard feature sets. Verify that your components match this chipset before purchasing.

Questions sur cet article
Should I pick the 16 GB DDR3 version of the ASUS M5A87 or is there a higher-capacity option?
The board supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory, so this is the maximum capacity available for the ASUS M5A87.
What does the 16 GB DDR3 limit mean when I install memory in my PC?
You can populate the slots with DDR3 modules totalling 16 GB; the system will not recognise more than that amount.
Which storage interface does the AMD 870 chipset provide and what speed does it cap at?
The chipset delivers SATA connectivity; the practical throughput ceiling is set by the SATA standard used on this board.
