ASUS Maximus III Formula: First look in pictures

With Intel's mainstream, Socket LGA 1156-based processors (still unofficially referred to as Core i5 by many, but we're still yet to hear any confirmation of nomenclature) finally on the cusp of release after a few delays and promising to bring Core i7-esque levels of performance to the mainstream, motherboard manufacturers are keen to show off their wares that will support these new CPUs.  Thus, this year's Computex event in Taiwan was packed to the rafters with Intel P55 chipset motherboards ready and raring to go as soon as these processors are launched.

One part that may well be welcomed by enthusiasts comes from ASUS, who will be looking to expand their Republic of Gamers branded range of offerings into the P55 marketplace.  They will be doing this via the Maximus III Formula, and ASUS UK have provided us with a bundle of images of this forthcoming motherboard to give us a sneak peek into what it's all about.  Interested in taking a look?  Then join us on the next page.
