ASUS M4A87T PLUS AM3 Motherboard

The ASUS M4A87T PLUS is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD 870 chipset and the Socket AM3 interface. It supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 8 GB and includes standard SATA connectivity for storage drives.

Suits AM3 builds, not newer platforms

This board suits users maintaining or repairing an existing Socket AM3 system that requires DDR3 memory. It will not suit anyone building with a newer AMD socket or a different memory generation, as the physical and electrical interfaces are not compatible.

8 GB DDR3 maximum memory limit

The single specification that decides fit is the 8 GB maximum memory supported. If the intended workload or operating system requires more than 8 GB of system memory, this motherboard cannot meet that requirement and a different platform must be chosen.
