It has 2 slots for ram memory. And this may not be enough for everything you want.
The presence of only two RAM slots may be limiting for some configurations.
Only has 2 dimm slots that will automatically run at 2133mhz unless you enable D.O.C.P.

Excellent memory compatibility. This is a genetic trait of all MSI.
It was easy to install, and with 8GB of RAM runs at very good speed.

No problems at all. Stable and everything working with windows 7 pro. Solid basic board.
