VII Formula look not much different from the Z87 VI Formula. Not much reason for me to upgrade.

Nope. Just randomly saying. After seeing some visual changes to the Z97 boards like the Maximus VII Hero, was expecting a more beefed-up aesthetics treatment to Formula lineup as well but apparently not.

Don't have to bah VI Formula power enough already

honestly specific to us formula owners... we already have m.2 slots so there's really no real addition on z97

Whooo Maximus VII Formula is nice!!!

Exactly, that's why Asus is the way to go.. All ROG mobo except VI Hero has the mpcie combo card.. Get new stuff early so we don't have to upgrade unnecessarily. You pay for what you get.. Save the trouble of selling off Z87 board for a Z97.

Hmm... Thanks for clarifying indepth didnt have any clue.

However there arent any really tested m.2 ssds yet so i wouldnt see a pressing need to upgrade.

The next big thing might well be pcie ssds though with the new intel unit
