Yeah, gotta be a typo, someone must have had their fingers one key to the right when they meant to type 3-2 and it turned into 4-3.

I find it kind of morbidly fascinating that this board is claimed to be mATX, yet it has the width of an ITX board. Weird. Two slots less, and it'd be DTX. The only way it's mATX is that it's smaller than that, bigger than everything else, I suppose.

Many budget "MATX" motherboards actually are Flex ATX motherboards. Because of low quantity RAM and PCI slots there is no point to use full sized MATX board

you havent noticed the multiple low end matx boards with 2 ram slots? the screw positions on that side are pretty close between the shortened & full width anyway so no need to always fill the width if space can be used more effectively (both size & cost)
