Great price! You may wish to call customer service for availability questions. Last I heard they were supposed to be available now.

The P4S533 sis based motherboard will support DDR333 but the P4B533 with intel chipset will not, still stuck with just official DDR266 support.

Well, it seems the new P4B533 series of motherboards from ASUS is just on the horizon. Their taiwanese FTP server already holds BIOS files for at least two of the boards (P4B533-E and P4B533-VM) as can be seen right here.

As for DDR333 support that will probably not happen with the i845E chipset. However I still can't shake that feeling that we just *may* be in for a surprise considering this statement in the March issue of ASUS' e-mag: "Highlights include DDR 333 solutions provided on both the latest P4B533 as well as Socket A A7V333 and A7S333." This is probably a typo referring instead to the P4S533. However, we'll know for sure, once the boards are officially announced.

I, for one, am looking very much forward to the P4B533 series boards, since they will probably give us all of the P4B266 series boards' advantages and (hopefully) no drawbacks... :)

The P4B533 people, not the P4S533. The P4S has been out already and has a sis chipset, and the p4b533 is coming and is based on the 845e chipset. I too can't can't for this board!

I just ordered the P4B533 from a local store here in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I was pretty shocked to see it available, but the guy assured me that he is able to get them even before the information page is posted on Asus' site. I can't wait! I will let you know how it goes.
