Core Specifications
The P4S533 motherboard is designed and assembled according to the
highest standards. This ASUS motherboard represents the latest advances
to supply users the finest componentry available today...
Latest 533MHz P4 Processor Technology: Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478
Northwood Processor. 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 2.2+ GHz frequency and a 533 MHz
FSB. The P4 offers optimized performance for audio, video, and Internet
applications.
North Bridge Chipset: the SiS
®
645DX supports AGP 4X/2X mode,
133/100MHz Front Side Bus, and the fastest 333 MHz memory bus.
South Bridge Chipset: the SiS
®
961B integrated peripheral controller
supports UltraDMA133/100/66/33 for burst mode data transfer rates of
up to 133MB/sec, and USB controller with two root hubs for six USB
ports.
PC 2700 / 2100 / 1600 DDR Support: Equipped with three Double Data
Rate Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR DIMM) sockets to support up to
3GB of DDR DRAM, the newest memory standard with the highest
bandwidth and lowest latency currently available. This new memory
technology increases performance by executing two actions per clock
cycle, resulting in data transfer rates of up to 2.7 GB/s for 166MHz DDR
SDRAM and 2.1GB/s for 133MHz DDR SDRAM.
UltraDMA133 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE
controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two
channels. Supports UltraDMA133/100/66/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4, Bus
Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-
ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.
Multi-I/O Chipset: The ITE 8707F chip offers complete support for a variety
of I/O functions. Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports
and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also
be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections.
The Super I/O controller supports a floppy disk drive, PS/2 keyboard,
and PS/2 mouse.
Smart BIOS: 2Mb firmware enables Vcore and CPU/DDR SDRAM frequency
adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy
boot selection.
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI
master busses to the memory and processor.
