Introduction

P4B533 Series motherboards redefine high-performance for Pentium 4 with the Intel 845E chipset and DDR 266 support. Overall system operation is enhanced with a peak 2.1 GB/s bandwidth, while 533MHz FSB supports the latest Intel P4 processors. Available in a large variety of models, the ASUS P4B533 Series motherboard provides reliable and powerful solutions for all types of Pentium 4 systems.

Enhanced 533MHz Front-Side-Bus

The P4B533 supports all socket 478 P4 processors including Willamette and Northwood up to 2.2GHz+. The 533MHz FSB increases bandwidth and improves overall system performance.

DDR memory support

The ASUS P4B533 and the Intel 845E chipset unlock the value of Pentium 4 technology with high-bandwidth DDR SDRAM. Supporting up to 2GB of PC2100/PC1600 and a peak bandwidth of 2.1GB/s, the P4B533 enables enhanced performance in multimedia applications, video, audio, 3D games and more.

6-Channel Audio (optional)

The P4B533 uses an onboard C-Media audio controller, letting you enjoy 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

Ultra-fast USB 2.0 Support

The ASUS P4B533 features USB 2.0 support. USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity specification for peripheral devices and features transfer speeds of up to 480 Mb/s. Approximately forty times faster than conventional USB 1.1, USB 2.0 is backwards-compatible supporting all the USB devices of today and tomorrow.

Quiet and Efficient Fan Operation

ASUS Q-Fan™ intelligently adjusts CPU fan speeds according to system loading. The result is maximum fan power when you need it most and quiet operation when you don't.
