Asus Maximus II Formula motherboard review

news · July 11, 2008

Codenamed Eaglelake, the P45 is the mainstream offering in the 4 series.

This partly new chipset will support upcoming Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme

processors using a bumped 1600MHz Front Side Bus - current Core 2s use

either a 800MHz, 1066MHz or 1333MHz FSB. In terms of features, the P45 can

easily impress primarily due to the inclusion of the ICH10R south bridge.

Just recently Asus announced the Maximus II Formula which is based on the

P45 chipset, and is the latest member of the elite Republic of Gamers series

targeting gamers and overclocking enthusiasts alike. After all, they will

need to aim at a certain niche willing to spend the big bucks given this

board's suggested price tag of nearly $300.
