| ASUS Maximus III Extreme - P55 for $349 ASUS’s “M3E” follows in the footsteps of boards from EVGA and MSI, by teaming up nViida’s NF200 chipset to multiplex sixteen native PCIe lanes out to provide additional front-end bandwidth for multiple graphics cards and other devices. Overall, it’s not a solution that ends up high on most enthusiast shortlists because Intel’s X58 seems to be the logical choice and offers superlative performance in almost every way over the “lesser” P55. The truth is, we’re waiting on vendors to send us their second-gen X58 motherboards so that we can provide you with a round-up of which makes the best buy. As we’ve probably got a few weeks before things will be ready, a review of the M3E is the first of our time fillers, to be followed by a test of the mini-ITX ECS H55H-I next week. On top of that, Richard will be taking a look at Gigabyte's P55A-UD7 shortly, and we've also got AMD 890FX boards to squeeze in somewhere. Put simply, lots to do but so little time. Back to what's going down today, given the limited demand for $349 P55 boards, we’ll spare you any further drivel and get down to the facts... http://www.anandtech.com/show/3671/asus-m3e
