With Intel's recent launch of their latest Lynnfield processors using the new LGA1156 socket and P55 chipset, motherboard manufacturers have a new opportunity to win you over. If the X58 platform is of any indication, P55 motherboards should also perform very close to each other, so it will be a battle of features. This market segment is very "me too" and they often have features that tend to be more or less useful, but especially less. Fortunately, they do come up with genuine and useful features to keep us interested and a brand new chipset is a great moment to introduce them.
This brings me to ASUS' Maximus III Formula, part or theit Republic of Gamers series of products. The Maximus is their top-end mid-range, if that makes any sense, motherboard. It all started with the P35 chipset, so this is their third iteration. However, this one is quite a bit difference since Lynnfield and P55 brought some drastic changes as you most likely read in our launch article. The Maximus III Formula is packed including the usual CrossFire and SLI, but also brings along others that are unique to their RoG line. Read on to see what ASUS has in store for us.

I have Windows 7 64-Bit running and the driver and software from the driver CD won´t install on it. Getting the error no hardware was found on system. The Card is plugged in the black slot above the graphics card an lights up blue at system start.
Currently I am running the soundcard with the Windows 7 generic HD Audio Driver Windows installs on firstboot.
I would very much appreciate your help on this matter, for I have already searched the internet for solutions to this problem and spent almost 30 hours with no result so far.
Thank you.
