ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard. It is an X58-based motherboard that supports Intel’s new generation extreme performance Core i7 Processors and both SLI and CrossFireX! Six SATA 3Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 along two SATA 6Gb/s ports for ultra high speed transfer. Memory support includes up to 24GB of Triple Channel DDR3 memory. Intel has brought back Hyperthreading technology and combined it with a native quad-core design to give support for 8 separate threads in the new LGA1366 / Socket B CPU interface and their replacement for the old Front Side Bus technology, QuickPath Interconnect provides a system bus speed of up to 6.4GT/s. The four PCI-Express 2.0 slots to take full advantage of either 2 or 3 graphics cards, allowing up to four GPUs to be used for maximum graphics performance.
