ASUS Maximus II Formula Motherboard Review

**Capper** · September 1st, 2008

Ladies and gentlemen, the P45 chipset has arrived. Enthusiasts everywhere have jumped on the bandwagon and taken advantage of the affordable prices and fantastic performance that this chipset has to offer. Seeking to satisfy demand at all price points, motherboard manufacturers have several offerings on the market ranging from budget models to high end products. And when it comes to motherboards, ASUS leads the way in almost every aspect you can think of. Their reputation exceeds them and for good reason - they make some bad ass boards.

love the review, sexy ass board, although i think i'd get the Rampage for a little more to run x48 chipset personally if im getting a intel board at this range.

That is one sexy board.

When X58 comes out I'm buying the most bad ass version of it. I really see no point in upgrading now because nehalem is so damn close.

EDIT: just the looks of it makes me want one NOW. lol
