ASRock launches new Frankensteined motherboard with one DDR4 slot and two DDR5 slots — Intel board signals the RAM apocalypse is truly nigh

ASRock has introduced a unique motherboard, the "H610M Combo II," featuring one DDR4 slot and two DDR5 slots to address the ongoing RAM shortage. The board supports Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs and allows users to choose the most cost-effective memory option. While the previous model, the H610 Combo, offered more features like 6 DIMM slots, this newer version is more compact with only three slots. The motherboard is designed for entry-level gamers with basic specs and connectivity options, targeting those affected by component supply challenges. Pricing and availability details are yet to be revealed, and the board may not be available in all regions.
