It's been quiet on the AMD front for a little while now. Thankfully the wait for something groundbreaking to appear is nearly over with the much vaunted Bulldozer (Zambezi) processors just over the horizon. In anticipation of those CPUs the first 990FX motherboards are starting to appear and we've got the ASUS Crosshair V Formula on the bench table today. Obviously this is only a part of the new wave of AMD products. However as the Bulldozer processors have yet to appear and in keeping with the AMD business model of gradually upgrading your PC whilst still retaining the majority of components, we're going to take a look at the Crosshair V Formula partnered to the current top of the line AMD processor, the 1095T. Like the Boy Scouts it's best to be prepared, so is the Crosshair V Formula worthy of your pennies?
