Just in case you missed the fresh link at the top of the page, we’re writing to let you know that we’ve just posted a new article here at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features, overclockability, and performance of two of Asus’ premiere motherboards for the Intel platform, the X48-based P5E3 Premium and the X38-based Maximus Extreme.  These two motherboards are family members of two different series of products by Asus – R.O.G. and Ai Lifestyle – and as such they each offer a different mix of features and integrated peripherals.  They’re both high-end motherboards targeted at enthusiasts and power users, however.  Click the link below and check them out...

Very nice boards. But once again I'm dissapointed in Intel continually supporting Crossfire over SLI and the only reason I have not bought a intel chipset this year is because of that, which is very unfortunate because I have always liked the stability of a intel platform.

Hi All,

If I'm not mistaken It's nVidia who won't support the Intel chipsets. My guess would be that it's more to do about money than anything else.

SLI not working on Intel chipsets is the fault of NVIDIA. They won't support it, because they want to sell chipsets too.
