There is no secret that AMD has been working on a new CPU socket for their upcoming flagship eight core processors. With all that hype, they have been causing quite a stir and a lot of gossip. Some of that gossip was concerning what the new chipset would be and what it might offer to complement the new line of processors. The new socket is dubbed AM3+ and is designed to support both current AM3 processors (including the now current Phenom II X6 1100T flagship processor) as well as the new processors that will be launching in the near future. The one thing about new chipsets that make them even better is the support and additional functionality that the manufacturers put into them. One manufacturer that puts a lot into their bread and butter boards is ASUS and their Republic of Gamers series. The ROG series puts the best of the best into the boards designed to give you the best bang for your buck. Anyone who has used an ASUS ROG board knows the potential they have at their disposal.
