ASUS MOTHERBOARD P4T533-C

[Guest]

Hey guys & dolls,
I just found this mobo in Asus' website. Being an Intel-kind-of-guy; I think it's the hottest one out there. Check it out at:

http://usa.asus.com/mb/socket478/p4t533-c/overview.htm

Can anyone tell me where I can get my grubby paws on one? I need it badly...

Thanks a bunch!

AMD is good, but Intel is more fun

It sucks. Wait for the P4T533. The "-C" version sucks.

Well, at least Dr. Pabst can rest more easily now. In the article <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q2/020506/p4b-01.html" target="_new">http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q2/020506/p4b-01.html</A> it sounded like no one would see official support for PC1066 with an i850E motherboard. But according to Asus <A HREF="http://usa.asus.com/inside/p4t533-c.htm" target="_new">http://usa.asus.com/inside/p4t533-c.htm</A>:
<font color=blue>

The ASUS P4T533-C offers up to 2GB of <font color=green>PC1066</font color=green>/PC800 RIMM support via 4 RIMM slots for flexible scalability.

</font color=blue>So if Asus gives <i>official</i> support for PC1066 with the i850E chipset, then the world is good again. After all, if there <i>were</i> a problem with the mobo, we wouldn't return it to Intel. We'd return it to the <i>manufacturer</i>, Asus. So who cares if Intel doesn't officially support PC1066 if Asus does...

And obviously the board comes with USB2 ports as well. So now Dr. Pabst can sleep a little more soundly, knowing that despite Intel's official support, motherboard manufacturers <i>are</i> giving official support to the technology that rocks. The world is a better place.

The ASUS P4T533-C comes with official PC1066 support, USB2, and even onboard sound and LAN.

I've found the P4T533-C several places and the P4 2.53 (very pricy) also...but I have not found the RDRAM that Asus claims you should use.

<b>
Note: * Use only the tested and qualified 16-bit 1066MHz RIMM listed below.
Other RIMM manufactured by other vendors may not be suitable for this motherboard.
</b>

The only product they list on the spec sheet is the Samsung 128 MB RDRAM Model MR16R0828BN1-CM9
And I have not found that anyplace yet. Has anybody else found it?

thanks

I think that is just BS, i think Kingston RDram modules would work also, not just the Samsung ones.

Why would the -C version suck?

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
