No offense intended but I would consider the MB's to be extremely poor
quality.  Additionally,  if the manufacturer of the boards suggested
removing the MB to upgrade memory, not only would I be highly
supsicious but would suggest they install their MB's between their
back pockets if you know what I mean.  CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!
I wouldn't suggest such product to a friend and therefore wouldn't
attempt to earn a living selling it.
