Review: Bjorn3D
_____________
Several months ago the first Intel® motherboards were released using their X38 chipset. At the time of their release ASUS® unveiled a full array of motherboards sporting this chipset including three new offerings in their Republic of Gamers Series (ROG) dubbed the Maximus. At the top of the heap was the Maximus Extreme which had all the bells and whistles and supported DDR-3 memory. Next was the Maximus Formula Special Edition which was essentially the same board as the Extreme, only supporting DDR-2 memory. Finally, came the Maximus Formula which mimicked the Special Edition with the exception of excluding ASUS's Fusion Block which allowed for water cooling of the northbridge.
