When the ASUS Rampage III Extreme was released, it made a big stir around the internet. Now ASUS is proudly announcing their latest Republic of Gamers (ROG) motherboard: the Rampage III Formula. The Rampage III Formula is the second top of the line motherboard ASUS has to offer, making it affordable to people on a tighter budget. At an average price of $299.99 (about $75 cheaper than the Rampage III Extreme), the ASUS Rampage III Formula delivers some of the latest technologies available on the market, including USB 3.0 and SATA 3 support. It comes without the extra PCI-E slot and the extra small gadgets that are included on the Extreme. However, other manufacturers like GIGABYTE are also on top of the line with staying up to date with their motherboards, and delivering the latest technologies and advancements, especially on their X58 series UD7 and UD9 motherboards. Because of this, it really just comes down to several major points when comparing the top of the line high-end motherboards: the different features each motherboard comes with, hardware support, specifications and the quality of the components, and the performance difference of each of these motherboards. Because each customer looks for different features when buying a motherboard, one motherboard might be more suitable for them than another.
