Bruceleeon Posted October 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 hey man, it was an excellent write up... i like how you included various benchmarking as opposed to just one.. gives you a birds eye look. That board performs very well eh? I guess that would be why you chose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 Thanks ! And yes alot of research was involved in building this rig. I literally spent 3 months looking at all the options available before choosing this board. It was well worth the time spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally spent 3 months looking at all the options available before choosing this board. It was well worth the time spent. I have the P4B533, and it is a very stable and Fast board. It had replaced my aging CUSL-2C Black Pearl. The latest BIOS, 1101, supports Hyperthreading and CPUs up to 3+GHz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever need the updates because of a processor change or something its nice to know they're there. What proc you running, Bikergeek?

Bikergeek Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 2.0a @ 2.4, soon to be replaced with a 2.66 right after tha 3gig is releast next month( Should be a price drop ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 All this speed, I feel like I'm driving in the slow lane with my 1700. But thanks to the overclock, I'm running like a 2.0. From what I have been reading on the 'net, this is one of the best PIV boards in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikergeek Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 From what I've been reading, The Asus P4PE is pretty good too, I'm real happy with the P4B533, But I'll wait to upgrade untill the Duel Channel DDR boards come out.

Bruceleeon Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 i just got the p4s533 for free, i think i am going to stick with it for a while. I was considering the p48sx <--think thats right - but i settled for free instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Kinda hard to beat free, unless it's a Dell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
