ASUS Rampage III Extreme review ... In the first observation, not much other than the support of USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/scheers ...

Well, for me boards like the above was/is a bit overkill, so I just yesterday purchased this:
ASUS P7P55D PRO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Seems enough for me: basically what any good P55-chipset motherboard will support. A single PCIe 2.0 x16 link, or 2 PCIe x8 links. Gigabit E, bunch of SATA connectors, etc.

A pretty good on-board audio codec as well.

Now the question is: what does the Rampage III really buy you over the above?
I'm hoping for some interesting debate on this topic.
