This ASUS Rampage III Extreme Crossfire SLI gaming motherboard is currently on the top of my wishlist. I am definately getting this cool motherboard but the price tag on it is in the high side. The listed price here in Malaysia is about RM 1500 just slightly higher than its predecessor, ASUS Rampage II Extreme which is priced at RM 1400. There are tons of features on this motherboard, which i will list down. Just to name a few, it has powerful combination of Analog and Digital design elements with it's black and red themed design, USB BIOS flashback which is super easy and also future proof, ASUS calls it Future Transfer Technology with True USB 3.0 support and True SATA 6Gb/s support.

It has always been ASUS for me when it comes to motherboards. I would love to have a go with the EVGA range of motherboards, unfortunately it's not available in the Malaysian market here and it's too expensive to order from US, and most Online Australian retailers do not ship international. That sucks!!!

Anyway, back to ASUS Rampage III Extreme Crossfire SLI gaming motherboard, i will be getting this mobo soon. Listed below are all it's features.
