I've read other sites about problems with all 4 mem slots filled. Do any of the reviewers have all 4 slots filled? Thanks

These chipsets really only work with 1.5v memory. If it's a 1.65 you will likely have problems. Just check the compatibility list via the gigabyte site and it should work fine. Only problem I had with this board was with Corsair series ssds or rather, the chip set they use. It just didn't work with this gigabyte. I was forced to move to an Asus z87-a board to resolve that.

I have 2 x 8 Gb RAM memories installed in two slots. So far I haven't experienced any trouble.

I have this MB, and it absolutely refuses to work with all 4 slots filled. Didn't realize I had one of the "bad" ones until I tried to move to a 4x4Gb ram setup. Only the two ram slots farthest from the cpu work. But I love this board enough to be here shopping for a second one - makes a great fakeMac.

I was looking at this model at Microcenter today and I assume it has the same specs. It has 4 memory slots and 2 are taken with 2 4gb sticks, so you should be able to add two more to give a total of 16gb.

If you only have 2 slots then replace them in pairs. If there additional empty slots, add these to increase your existing memory.

I don't no why? The slot is good but i am not a expert. You should ask to a expert. Sorry if i can not help you more than this.

Yeah. I only had 1 spare pci slot and put in that one and it worked fine for me. Hope this helps.

Well, there is 3 other answers where they put lots of cards in each slot, but I only put one per slot. I have in the past put two, back to back, but I wanted to be able to read the back so I only do one now. I have noticed that over time, many years, and when packed in a box/binder with at least 100 page protectors that cards may be difficult to remove and sometimes the slot tears. This was more of a problem if I had more than I card in the slot.

If memory serves me, no pun intended. If you have four slots they all have to be the same speed otherwise it will perform at the lowest speed, I have put 3 GB in 3 slots and 256mb in the fourth and had no issue. You will also want to see the maximum gigs your motherboard will support, if your motherboard only supports 4 gigs and not 8 gigs then adding it to what you already have would be pointless.

I would not buy a computer from this site or their affiliates again. I like the machine itself.But mine had a processing problem and I bought a new one but I got a used and all messed up one. They refused to take it back! Do you believe that! Shame on them! Yes I do agree with you there are not enough ports either. You may have to get the portable ports. I hope someone has a better answer as to how you can put more ports in. Sincerely, Ripped Off!

I only have put 2 cards in each slot. You might can get more but I would be concerned about the cards sticking if they are too tight.

My Mac runs just fine I admit I didn't pay that much attention to it other then proper installation. I'm running four 4gb cards and there hasn't been an issue. I do advise the if you are only upgrading meaning adding ram not replacing. Leave the original ram in its original location and just add the new ram to the open slots. Hope that help you in your decision.

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.

G.Skill memory, while fantastic, is not compatible with this board. Check out Memorystock or some other similar site for memory that will work. I have had exactly the same issues myself. Once I got compatible memory it fired up like a champ.

I edited my comment....My matte Box did have to extend the full amount but it still worked. If it hadn't I would have simply used my dremel tool to make the slot longer. As I said in the other comment, I find the matte box to be more trouble than it's worth except in a few situations so I seldom use it. It looks cool, but I'm not into looking cool, just getting the job done well.

Hmmmm, I loaned mine to a friend so don't have it with me but...I am pretty sure I stuffed as many batteries as there were obvious slots. If there were anything tricky, I wouldn't have figured it out, believe me. So, if there is only one obvious slot, I guess it requires only one battery. If it works that way, go for it. I have noticed several different, similar-looking sleek wireless mouses (mice?) and it might be that the design has changed or the different manufacturers' products are getting mixed up by whomever is shipping you one. They really are inexpensive and work, no matter which battery configuration it needs. But, again, if the second battery slot isn't obvious, don't worry about it. - jeri

Looking to pick up the "mini" samsung but want to upgrade to more RAM. Can anyone tell me if there are 2 slots for a 1GB each or do i need to pick up one 2GB card? I thought i saw somewhere someone was saying they upgraded to 4GB which led me to believe it could take up to 2-2GB cards...but wasnt sure. Anybody know anything?

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

7/14/14 8:00 AM PDT: Alan, I bought 8GB microSD's. I don't know if they are made in larger capacity chips. Have you been able to get D-Link to respond? That's an important question and consideration. I'd like to know the answer if you can get one. Thanks for the good question.
