The Rampage II Gene was a pint sized rocket of a board delivering all the performance and features you'd expect from a full ATX flagship in a Micro ATX format. With the introduction of important features like USB 3.0 and 6Gbps SATA, the Gene II is starting to look a little overpriced and outdated however, particularly when compared to other products available like the excellent P6X58D-E we reviewed not long ago. Asus addresses this problem with the release of the Rampage III Gene, essentially a next generation update to its predecessor.
