HardOCP has taken a look at the ASUS Blitz Formula motherboard which uses Intel's P35 chipset.
Their most recent boards have been well received here at the [H] and with that said the Blitz Formula may be the most exciting board we’ve seen from ASUS in the last year. The ASUS Blitz Formula is based on Intel’s already proven and very popular P35 chipset. Recently the P35 chipset replaced the P965 Express chipset as their mainstream chipset. Aside from an improved memory controller and support for 1333MHz FSB speeds and 45nm CPU support, the P35 generally boasts improved overclocking over similar designs using the P965 Express chipset. Though DDR 3 is out and newer modules and speed revisions seem to be making headlines all the time, many people aren’t interested in DDR 3 at present. ASUS like most other companies have realized this and have continued to support DDR 2 and will likely continue to do so for some time. The Blitz Formula uses DDR 2 memory and does not support DDR 3.
