Socket and chipset
This ASUS P8H61 PLUS R2.0 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel H61 chipset and the LGA 1155 socket. It supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 16 GB. The board is supplied new and includes a rear I/O panel plus one SATA cable.
Intended use and limits
It suits builders assembling or repairing a system that requires an LGA 1155 platform with basic expansion and memory capacity. It is not for buyers who need more than 16 GB of RAM, who want newer CPU sockets, or who require additional accessories beyond the single cable and I/O shield.
Deciding specification
The 16 GB memory ceiling is the single figure that determines whether this board fits the planned build; if the workload demands more memory, a different platform must be chosen.

Questions about this item
Which memory capacity should I choose for the ASUS P8H61 PLUS R2.0?
The board supports up to 16GB of DDR3, so select modules that keep the total at or below that limit.
What does the 16GB maximum mean once the motherboard is installed in a system?
It sets the total amount of DDR3 the board can address; the OS and applications will only see memory up to that ceiling.
What does the SATA interface on this motherboard cap in practice?
The SATA ports provide standard SATA connectivity for drives; transfer rates follow the SATA specification implemented by the H61 chipset.
