Asus will release a new motherboard in the Republic of Gamers series. The motherboard, known as Cross Hair Formula III is suitable for AMD processors with one-socket AM3. There are two pci-e x16 slots available.

Taiwanese hardware manufacturer Asus is the third son in his Cross Hair Formula Series delivered. The biggest change from the previous is the transition from an Nvidia chipset for AMD's own chipset. The heart of the motherboard is also from the 790FX chipset, which does work in conjunction with the SB750 south-bridge. This means that use of the Advanced Clock Calibration tool, which AMD cpu's on graphic may be higher than with motherboards that lack this feature. ACC is also in some cases to as a triple core cpu released a quadcore to make.

Since the motherboard is intended primarily for gamers and overclockers, there are two pci-e x16 slots are present, with two video cards in CrossFireX mode to be switched. Furthermore, there are three pci-e x1 slots and a single pci slot. The sound is provided by a SupremeFX X-Fi card in a pci-e x1 slot to be stabbed.

The motherboard does not have a price and will probably start during the Computex officially introduced.

AMD does not support triple channel. This is the internal memory controller, because the memory controller on the AMD processors is "only" dual channel, not channel tripplehelix as Intel's Core i7-cpu's.
