## Questions & Answers

**Q: I´d like to purchase 16 GB of RAM and a better video card for this motherboard. What features do I have to select for the search?**
A: For the RAM consult the compatibility reference for this motherboard on ASUS site. You have a choice for 1600MHz - 2400MHz speed for the RAM. The faster the DDR3 speed you know the faster is the response.  For the Video card PCIe 2.0x is the interface as you know. Go with a 2GB memory card if you plan to do gaming or some media editing. Otherwise the video built into the Intel processor is good enough. It purchased AMD R8 270x 2GB card and the system is simply very good in performance.

**Q: maxium memory**
A: Not exactly sure what you are asking, but it has 4 DDR3 DIMM slots capable at 8GB of RAM each which works out to 32GB of RAM. Hope that helps.

**Q: On the ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150, what does the 2600 refer to? Is there more than one version of the Z97-A?**
A: The 2600 refers to maximum overclock frequency of the memory that can be used with the board. The unit is GHz.  Z97-A is itself a version of MB using Intel z97 chipset. There   are other offerings like z97-C and RAMPAGE models etc. The different versions of MB differs in features on the motherboard.

**Q: Combined with a Focusrite© audio interface, will this motherboard be asio (audio stream in/out) compatible? (Or does asio only pertain to soundcards?)**
A: Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a driver that connect external hardware such as the Focusrite audio interface or any other external audio device directly to a peice of software commonly for music production or recording. I use a Mackie Onyx Blackbird via ASIO and it works perfect. The thing you should look into is getting a Firewire card if that's what your sound card requires, if it's USB you'll be fine. If you're looking more for a gaming soundcard, the Focusrite is probably overkill and cannot do all the same effects as something like an X-Fi card with Dolby support.
