Specifications

The ASUS Crosshair III Formula review is definitely one of the best ASUS mother boards available today. It lacks in the amount of specifications that the other two computer motherboards in this area have (ASUS M4A79T Deluxe and MSI 790FX-GD70), but it still has the computer cpu speed that both deliver through their Socket AM3.

  • Memory - Max 16gb DDR3
  • PCI - 2x PCI Express 2.0 x16
  • Socket - AM3
  • SATA - 5x slots
  • LAN - 1gb/s

    • Overview

    The ASUS Crosshair III Formula review shows that you don't have to have a million of every item to be what the consumer needs. I am sure that you would love to have more RAID, PCI-E, computer processors, DDR3, etc..., but you really only need a certain amount to get the job done. It really depends on what your job may be.

    I spend a lot of time doing web development so my demands are minimal, but if you are a computer gamer or a graphical artist you may need totally different things than myself. I used to need the fastest and biggest machine, but I have slowed down a bit and only do it for my motherboard reviews to see what these new computer parts are capable of.

    One thing you might notice is that the DDR3 RAM is not as good as the other two ASUS mother boards I reviewed. Coming in at 1333mhz is fine and good, but when the other ones are 1600mhz and can overclock to over 2k mhz, you are in for a loss! I for one believe that computer RAM is an underrated computer part and is very important for many people that do extensive work on their computers and need lots of temporary space to store data while their jobs are running. The computer cpu has multi-threading and cost saving factors to handle this, but computer ram really does the job when it comes down to visual performance.

    Quite Frankly, the ASUS Crosshair III Formula review shows that this amd motherboard is a little too expensive for what it offers. It is a great computer motherboard, but if the price was $30-50 dollars cheaper I would have to really get into the specifics of why it would beat the other two or why not.

    Price

    You can buy the ASUS Crosshair III Formula for around $200 from an online retailer. You will not be able to find this at a retail store, but you may be able to order from their online store, which would not be cheap either!
