ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[Simps]

No one's under the illusion this board is the new P45 king, it never was and never will be.

Well, for sure not the king of the bench boards. Now, for solid stability on quads I have not seen any other better board. Please show me one, so I can investigate.
I see you have a dualcore, and the thing is, dualcores won't push these high end boards, and they will perform very alike on different good boards (on bad boards they will suck of course), since they are all designed to handle quads, they won't have any problems with dualcores. Dualcores will run just fine on even 6 phase power boards.

Now with quadcores, you would really feel the difference the 16 phase power of this board has, against other boards. Stability on high clocked quads with high fsb, is very dependent on this 16 phase power, witch for dualcores, is of course a totally overkill.

Believe, this 16 power design, is not just a market thing. And I don't see non-asus boards using it. It is there for a reason.

So in a way, for me at least, if you have a quad, this is the best p45 board for it yes, for solid stability on 24/7 operation.
