    - 2 x DDR3 DIMM slots

    I just found this little offbeat. If you bought 8 gigs (i.e. 2*4 gigs) and now wants to increase the memory, you are stuck or buy 2*8 gigs now. You can get lots of MBs with 4 memory slots.

    Like this one ASUS motherboard

    Also, I find it little over priced.

    It's a nice APU board but I do suggest couple the APU chip you are getting with the best video card compatible may be a 6670 or the 7770 or just get one real good GPU

    then it will be at least good enough to run a few games etc... Also get the best APU you can afford A8 A10 AMD A10-5800K Trinity 3.8GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7660D AD580KWOHJBOX - Newegg.com

    Should be a nice AMD based board. I had that board on my short list deciding to go AMD or Intel on a ITX build. I ended up with a i5-3570k on a ASUS P8H77-I. Most all ITX boards have two memory slots.
