ASUS HAS BEEN on a nice run lately, cranking out motherboards for different CPUs based on various chipsets with all of the boards sharing a similar look, a happily tweakable BIOS, and a largely common set of features. They've got enthusiast-class motherboard design down to a formula, and they're executing quickly on that formula, oftentimes delivering boards based on new chipsets weeks before the competition.

The latest bit of core logic to get the Asus treatment is ATI's CrossFire Xpress 3200, a brand-new north bridge that allows Radeon cards to ride in dual PCI Express x16 slots, each with a full complement of 16 lanes of PCI-E connectivity. The goal, of course, is to accelerate the working of a pair of Radeon cards in a CrossFire configuration, bringing even more performance to an already potent dual-GPU setup.
