What's the difference between the P4B533-E and the P4B533-V? Besides the onboard video.

Also, which online sites are selling the P4B533-V? I'll only found 1 site that selling it, the others only have the P4B533-VM..

Looks like the difference is that the P4B533-E is based on the i845E chipset and also is equipped with FireWire, USB 2.0, LAN and optional RAID, whereas the P4B533-V is based on the i845G chipset (hence the onboard video) and has LAN and USB 2.0.

You might keep an eye on Axiontech for it. Search their site for "P4B533" and they've got listings for four variants including P4B533-V, but at this time they all say "Call" next to them. Multiwave has the P4B533-E in stock and usually is one of the first places to carry new boards.
