Mini-ITX motherboard launches with four full-sized RAM slots in the middle of a RAM shortage — support for up to 256GB of glorious DDR5 on a tiny PCB

MS-PC Farm B860I.

Maxsun has proudly announced its new MS-PC Farm B860I. The mini-ITX motherboard features Intel's B860I chipset and includes four DDR5 memory slots, enabling the best RAM performance and supporting up to 256GB of memory.

One limitation of mini-ITX motherboards is the constrained space available to manufacturers. Nevertheless, where there is a will, there is a way; Maxsun has ingeniously incorporated up to four full-sized DDR5 memory slots into the MS-PC Farm B860I. Few mini-ITX motherboards feature four memory slots; those that do are typically restricted to SO-DIMM memory modules, similar to those used in laptops. Although there have been efforts to integrate four standard memory slots into compact motherboards, these are generally larger and include models such as deep mini-ITX or mini-DTX motherboards, which are primarily designed for server applications.
