Question 1:
Why don't any current Z77 itx's support 32gb DDR3? (16x2) - the chips are out there and the chipset should handle it. I do photoshop so RAM matters. Any chance a future firmware will allow more for any of the current boards - especially since the EVGA thinks it'll take 32GB.
Question 2:
Can you pull the wireless mPCIe card and replace with a mPCIe SATA controller for more drives?
Looking at going even smaller from my Z68 matx to a Z77itx. Most likely a prodigy, but still thinking on that one.
I've seen two such threads already, and the ASrock is certainly a contender. However, I know that we have one new board which has some.
All have 4 sata which I'll use and
Asus ITX - pretty bios
and 2xesata & higher DDR3 clock (no msata), high price:mad:
ASrock itx - 1x esata, mSATA, higher DDR3 clock, CIR header, medium price
Gigabyte itx - no esata, no msata, WIDI (curious about) dual NIC w/ teaming, BT, low price
EVGA - who knows . . . (no msata, 2xesata, BT, can use 32GB DDR3)
I'm leaning towards the ASrock, but the Gigabyte has me wondering. Never had a WiDi machine before and sounds like fun (wireless display) but then that's an extra cost. Don't like that it lacks an eSATA, but maybe that's not a deal breaker. I don't have an mSATA board, but like the possibility.
Thanks for help & ideas!
