[WhiteFireDragon]

i been lookin for pics and info on this for a few days. anyone can translate or know additional info on this or what the difference of this and the current maximus II besides 8x xfire and ddr2 vs 16x xfire and ddr3?

[systemviper]

it sure looks like a killer board.....

I have also heard good things about the rampage,...

[GAR]

Nice board, but nehalem is too close get a 775 board, it looks too bloated.

LOL must have been in a mad rush to get this out before Nehalem...they forgot spel chek.

[metro.cl]

finally more PCI-Express and less PCI

[HotGore]

Whats the deal with the OC Tweak It switch?

[Caveman787]

Uh since most people have pci slot sound card's pci is good.

They just started introducing pci-e 1 sound cards recently.

[bowman]

Sure looks pretty, but.. Far too expensive for a 775 board at this point. X58, 1366 and Nehalem is practically right around the corner.

[SmaKKed]

To much going on on that board for my liking, and yest to close to nehalm to go to that i feel
And way out of my price range, id have to sell one of my kids to get that thing.

[DTU_XaVier]

I'm still waiting for the first Mobo with built-in WiFi support... Especially as PCI seems to be disappearing....
Otherwise, that board at least looks like business....

Best Regards

You know Asus has a bunch of WiFi mobos?

[tekjunkie]

Does it have ICH10R SB?? Rumor has it that they might put ICH10R+x48, hence the delay. Also, the last two IO ports, are they SATA or SAS?? The last time I looked at the pictures of this thing @ hardwareinfo, the last two ports were orange color, so going by what they did with the P5N64, made me believe they were SAS. But looking at the Maximums II formula, which is the P45 cousin of this board, they had 8 sata. So it looks like just 2 more additional SATA ports through some other 3rd party controller.

Rampage formula has the same layout.

To Maximus II or not to Maximus II,
THAT is the question !!

Cool, only 6 months later than the rest of the competition

reminds me of that push start buttons they know have for cars

[Anemone]

I think the "extreme" folks are Nehalem bound at this point. Sad part is that probably means we get the "early ducks" for mobo's and subsequent issues thereon, but those who wanted X48, probably have it by now.

[WhiteFireDragon]

except nehalems are so new and there will be bugs in the mobos paired with premium prices. q6600 was over $800 at launch, and how its just over $200. it'll probably take about a year for nehalems to hit the mainstream market so until then, the current 775 will still suffice
