Stephen ASUS Rampage III Formula @ HardOCP
“The ASUS Rampage III Formula comes from a long line of “Rampage” boards. This one is based on Intel’s X58 chipset and ICH10R south bridge. The Rampage III Formula is full of features. It doesn’t have as many RAID controllers or as many PCI-Express x16 slots as some boards do. The Rampage III Formula doesn’t have all a bunch of expansion slots which couldn’t be used when blocked. It’s pretty much all business.”

“Being a socket AM3 based motherboard, the ECS A890GXM-A2 will support pretty much any processor released by AMD in the last 2 years, including the latest X6 processors. The specialty here is that it has the ability to unlock some of the hidden cores on some of the Phenom II and Sempron 140 processors through the BIOS itself.”

ASUS Rampage III Extreme @ Bjorn3D
“The ASUS Rampage III Extreme, running on the X58 architecture, is designed with overclocking and gaming in mind, making it a motherboard that most gamers can only dream of. When the ASUS Rampage III Formula hit the market about two months ago, it was a great option for most gamers and overclockers, especially since it had features similar to those of the Extreme, but with an $85 price cut.”
