The market leading motherboard manufacturer Asus announces the first high performance boards to encompass the new Nvidia nForce 7 series chipset. The Striker II Formula hits the ground running with the top-of-the-range, blisteringly fast nForce 780i chipset, supporting all current generation Intel processors and the forthcoming 45nm "penryn" cores. If that wasn't enough this board supports three-way SLi, which means that you can run three identical Nvidia graphics cards in full PCI-Express x16 glory. The Striker II Formula is a feature packed monster.
