   Thank you.
I've been told if I use Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz CL18 Intel XMP 2.0 iCUE Compatible Computer Memory - Black (CMK16GX4M2D3600C18)

With this board I'll have to make lots of bios setting changes, is this correct thanks

	Yes, you can fit an m.2 WiFi card, and you will need a set of antenna. You can buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085M7VPDP Or many other kits like it. I'm not endorsing the above Amazon link. It's just something that came up when I searched. I don't believe you'll lose any SATA port on this X570 board, even if you use all three m.2 slots (two for SSDs and one for WiFi). The only quirk is, if you install the ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC card (R2.0), then you will lose the ability to use m.2 SATA drive in M2_3 slot. It should not affect any of the 8 SATA connectors, however. Note the first M2_1 slot only supports NVMe drives. No m.2 SATA support on that slot. I don't see any reason for anyone to buy an m.2 SATA SSD these days anyway. NVMe drives are plentiful and cheap. Note M2_1 is the fastest, because it's connected directly to the CPU. M2_2 is for WiFi card. M2_3 is connected to the X570 chipset.

	This has an M2 WiFi socket, didn't think this is a WiFi mobo, so can I fit a WiFi card, dies it need antennas ? Which M2 socket should I use for an SSD to avoid losing sata ports thanks
