ASRock is launching a new motherboard that has a total of six DIMM slots (where you install your RAM). Up from the usual four slots found on most mobos, this might seem a little pointless right now. Given how stupidly expensive RAM for gaming is, who in their right mind would be buying more than usual? Well, the new ASRock H610M COMBO motherboard is hiding some clever tricks up its sleeves to give you both DDR4 and DDR5 compatibility.
Based around the Intel LGA1700 CPU socket, ASRock's new motherboard is the first I've ever seen that supports both generations of RAM. DDR4 and DDR5 memory slots have a different physical design, so you can't mix and match them on the same DIMM slots. The new H610M COMBO board gets around this by supplying two extra DDR4 slots, which could help anyone who was hoping to upgrade their PC right before memory prices shot through the roof.
