Asus Rampage II Extreme my thoughts on it

Asus Rampage II Extreme

I think I will be getting this board instead of the P6T Deluxe v2 for these two main reasons.

1. The board is a good gaming board.
2. The Price is good too.

For example the price of the board at Zipzoomfly has it at $344.99 if you break it down to just the board with out the Creative Labs X-FI sound card, this is what the price of the board alone would cost: $221.00. If you really look at it this board comes with the sound card, that means no on board sound on the MOBO taking up CPU resources, and it’s a CREATIVE LABS PCI Express SoundBlaster X-Fi Titauium Fatal1ty Pro … zipzoomfly has this sound card for sale at $128.99, now the $344.99 is not looking too bad after all, for example if you want to purchase the ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 zipzoomfly has it for sale at: $284.99 and lets just say you wanted to upgrade or add a better sound card so you get the X-Fi from zipzoomfly at $128.99 that would put your MOBO and sound card combo to $413.98. There for I think if you like CREATIVE LABS PCI Express SoundBlaster X-Fi Titauium Fatal1ty Pro and a socket 1366 type of board I would defiantly be getting the ASUS Rampage II Extreme Intel X58 at $344.99.

It's a GREAT board if you are going to stay under 215 bclk, and are planning on using no more than 2 videocards. I'm in the middle of an article fro the frontpage on my experiences with this board.
