You could try one out and if not satisfied with the memory performance return it. The Maximus II is only $269.99 so with tax it would only cost about $10 more than ordering from the egg. I've been thinking about the P5Q Deluxe to refit my workstation. It is far time to retire my P5W DH and E6600 collection. On the other hand, with I7 so close is it really worth it to invest any further on this architecture?
It's funny you mention the Maximus II at Frys. I was just there and noticed they had one on hand. I went by Microcenter and they have the Maximus Formula still, clearanced out and only at, get this, ONLY $339.99. Someone is smoking some serious crack over there. Anyway, I was thinking about the Rampage, it would be an easy swap out with my Blitz.
