ASUS Maximus Formula Special Edition motherboard Review

The Maximus Formula Special Edition is another Intel X38-based motherboard, which comes as part of ASUS' 'Republic of Gamers' series, and thus focuses on the needs of gaming enthusiasts, cutting out features that would be unnecessary for such users to focus on performance and the hardware requirements of this sub-set of computer enthusiasts. Amongst other things, this means dropping the requirement for DDR3 memory modules, choosing instead to offer the Maximus Formula with DDR2 support which will doubtless bring a sigh of relief from many considering the current cost and performance metrics of the two technologies.
