Asus P4T533-C Review!!!
- Thread starter JackBurton
- Start date
the review shows the setup to be piss poor, being beaten in real world by Sis645DX. this is opposite of other reviewage - on THW. AAAACK!
no RDRam tweaks? Wassup wid dat?
no shots of bios divider options - dammit

Does not work for me either with IE6,however if you try to go to www.tbreak .com you get something about a security alert and a CA root certificate to either install or decline with IE6 browser.
Bozo, you'll notice that they were not able to get their PC800 to run at PC1066 speed so their FSB was at 400MHz. You'll also notice that they were using a P4 1.6A GHz CPU. Basically this is like comparing an i850 based mobo vs a Sis645DX based mobo. Sh!t, they didn't even use a 133MHz FSB CPU (2.4 or 2.53GHz). I didn't really look at the review for its benchmarks but more for teh motherboard's features.

The link (and all the pages in the review) worked fine for me.
At first blush, I'm a bit disappointed. No voltage modifications for the RDRAM and a top FSB of 140...
I suppose it'll be a good (if somewhat expensive) motherboard for overclocking the 100 FSB P4A if someone figures out a voltage mod for the RDRAM. It sure doesn't look like there'll be any room for overclocking the 133 FSB P4A.

and to correct a few things:
they were running the P4 1.6 at 133FSB to get 2.133GHZ
the RDRam was running @ 100 (3:4 Ratio) quad pumped to 400
edit:
question: is there any difference in performance between a 1.8 P4 100MHZ (18 X 100) running O/C at 133 - 2.4, or a "true" 133.3 bus 2.4 (18 X 133), assuming PCI AGP RAM same speed - or is it just divider options available?
one is set by bios, other by factory - same end result

The BIOS is typical ASUS style letting you adjust most of the things on the motherboard. One thing that we found disappointing was the lack of memory tweaking. About the only memory related feature we could find was setting the speed of RDRAM as 3X or 4X. There was no option for anything else like increasing voltage or even setting a "Turbo" mode that was present on the P4T-E.
guess i'll be waiting for a better o'c option

No, there is no difference. Why would there be? Of course, the 1.8 oced to 2.4 hasn't gone through Intel's rigorous testing so you're not absolutely sure it'll run completely stable. But since 2.4 is well within the NW's yields, I'd say it's a fair bet that it is running completely stable.
Sorry man, I thought they were running the 1.6A at 1.6GHz. I didn't see that they were running it at 2.128GHz (133FSB). My bad.
