1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The P4S333 motherboard supports the latest Intel Pentium 4 478/
Northwood Processor, also known as P4, via a 478-pin surface mount ZIF
socket. The Pentium 4 processor utilizes the advanced 0.18 micron
processor core in FC-PGA2 package for a 2.0GHz frequency, while the
Northwood processor uses the 0.13 micron processor core with 512KB L2
cache for up to a speedy 2.4+GHz frequency. The P4 offers optimized
performance for audio, video, and Internet applications. See page 2-4.
DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the P4S333
motherboard supports up to 3GB of system memory using PC2100/1600
DDR DIMMs and 2GB using PC2700 DDR DIMMs, to deliver the required
bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
Digital audio interface

On audio models, a digital audio connector is onboard to accommodate
the Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) Out module, which supports
coaxial interfaces. Experience 5.1-channel surround sound and enhanced
3D audio while playing DVDs and computer games. See page 2-29.
Onboard audio feature
(on audio models only)
A C-Media CMI8738 6-channel audio controller is onboard to support

The motherboard incorporates the ICS 1893Y LAN PHY chip to support
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networking.
ASUS EZ Plug™
This patented ASUS technology lets you use your existing power supply
rather than buying a new ATX 12V power supply. The ASUS EZ Plug™ is
a 4-pin auxiliary +12V connector mounted on the motherboard that
connects a regular 4-pin device power connector from the power supply.
This connector is necessary to provide the additional power required by
the P4 CPU. Refer to page 2-26.
