Need help...which one?

Hi.

Tough choice.

ASUS P4S533, or P4B533, or P4B533-V? Not considering any others.
I've already got a P4S333-VM which I'm fairly happy with, but this new board is going into another system. They say Intel chipset best for Intel CPU, is that the only reason why I should spend more on i845E chipset?

P4B533-V, that seems to be the Asus board of choice. The Intel chipsets pretty much rock.....

If you are going to use DDR333 memory, go with P4S533. Not sure if the P4B533-V allows you to run the memory at DDR333 mode. If you want to stick with an Intel chipset, go with the Epox 4G4a(without raid) or 4G4a+(with raid). I know the Epox boards have the 4:5 memory setting.

Looks like the P4B533-V is the most popular one, since it is supposed to have the 4:5 memory setting.
