Yes it is built using the ivy bridge, and you can upgrade to 8GB of ram total.

No, you have a haswell cpu. this board is for the ivy bridge cpu's. I did reccommend this board earlier, but do not now. have since had a memory controller failure and a few other functions are weak, namely usb 3.0 is not implemented very well.

That combination is NOT listed in the manual as officially supported. This is the only 8GB supported RAM listed, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233271

You would need to check your motherboard specifications and available BIOS updates. They're are both 1155 sockets, but the Ivy may require updated BIOS.

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

It has 4 slots so you should be good. I'm running 2x4gb of 1866. It runs at 1600 but I'm told I can change that in the bios easily.

DO NOT BUY ASROCK!! and no it does not. You need an LGA1115 compatable CPU (intel ivy bridge). I can't speak to much about the motherboard's performance, because I used it about two months and then it didnt work?? I had to send it in and their customer service...horrible. I paid to ship it to them just after two months of use (BullS), people on the phone didn't give me a call back on more than 2 occasions. I will NEVER do business with this company again. Trust me, the list goes on even more. Pick another motherboard COMPANY.You match the "CPU" with the motherboard "socket"core 2 quad is a "CPU" - you need a LGA 775 "socket" DO NOT BUY ASROCK!! and no it does not.

The socket on this motherboard allows for LGA 1155 processors only. Do not attempt to use any processor that is not listed as LGA 1155. These Intel processors are also referred to as Socket H2... the so-called "Sandy Bridge" or "Ivy Bridge" line of microarchitecture. Huge lists of these processors are available at places like Wikipedia but suffice it to say that this motherboard requires the latest Core i3, i5, or i7 processor and is not compatible with older versions of Windows... nothing earlier than Windows 7 will work and I strongly suggest a new copy of Windows 8.1 with this motherboard.

No sir. That is a socket 1155 motherboard. This is socket 1150. 1155 was the last generation socket for Sandy bridge/ Ivy Bridge.Haswell (this newest generation) and whatever comes next will be socket 1150. Look on Amazon and other sellers by socket type. Filter/ search by 1150 (and mini-itx if you so desire that small form-factor)Happy hunting.Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

For video playback? Yes. Ivy Bridge Intel HD is capable of playing up to 4k video resolution.

Yes it is. Your motherboard supports the 1600 DDR3 speed and that's all you need. Your processor doesn't matter but your motherboard matters, in order to determine if RAM is compatible with your system.

it will work at up to 1600mhz on any motherboard supporting ddr3 desktop memory... or it should. i use it on ivy bridge which is 3rd gen before hazwell and after sandy

I have not looked into the specifics. This was intended for pretty light usage. The computer is fairly slow operationally, I would not recommend for anything that requires anything but basic processing power. If you are looking to invest in additional RAM I would suggest just buying a better lap you.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb1600Mhz

I am more or less guessing that this particular model being sold on Amazon is Sandy Bridge - I believe the Ivy bridge processors are sold with the higher end MacBooks ($2500+) and they are 3.4 ghz - this one is 2.9 ghz. However - if this model was actually made in late 2012 or early 2013 - it may very well have an Ivy Bridge, as Apple seems to be using the Ivy bridge exclusively on its newer models. I purchased my Macbook Pro in February of 2013 and I noticed that it was constructed in 2010. Also - there is nothing in the hardware description that indicates anything more about the processors than that they are Intel and are the I7 series. Sorry I couldn't give you more exact information. If it helps = my Mac is very fast even when I have 25 documents opened while running videos.

No. Go to asus web. I found it only have 2memory slots. Max memory is 16 gb. I was ready to order but I am looking for a better mobo for this price, also I can expand memory in future.

I have no idea if it has additional slots for more RAM, check with Dell.............
