MUMBAI: Rashi Peripherals, a Mumbai based distributor, will be marketing ASUS
P4S333 socket 478 Pentium 4 motherboard in India. The statement released by the
company mentioned that P4S333 incorporates the SiS 645 chipset to latest Pentium
4 processors along with high-bandwidth DDR (double data rate) memory up to 333
MHz. The resultant motherboard of the combination is said to deliver
breakthrough performance and value for entry-level or mainstream Pentium 4
systems.
Taking advantage of the SiS 645's advanced chipset architecture, the P4S333
motherboard pushes the performance of up to 3GB high-speed DDR200/266/333 SDRAM
at a peak bandwidth of 2.7GB/second, while incorporating robust onboard
features. This chip eliminates the cost of an additional soundcard and adds
dynamic realism to games, MP3s or DVDs. The optional SPDIF-in/out module allows
easy connection to high-end external speaker systems, making the system an
all-around entertainment powerhouse. An optional SiS LAN controller also
provides fast connectivity to networks and broadband, further enhancing
performance in work and online games.
Comprehensive overclocking options are available to unleash the performance
of Pentium 4 processors. DIP switches and ASUS JumperFree mode allows users to
adjust overclocking settings either manually or from the convenience of the BIOS
screen. One MHz incremental settings push system-bus settings up to v200 MHz
(quad-pumped to 800 MHz), while CPU voltage adjustments in 0.05V intervals over
default provide additional performance configurability. Memory voltage is also
adjustable.
ASUS features include ASUS POST Reporter a unique onboard speech IC chip that
provides clear explanations of system errors for quick and easy optimization and
ASUS EZ Plug, a power connector that lets you use your existing power supply and
eliminates the need to buy a special ATX 12V power supply necessary to support
your P4 CPU. Other features includes support for Intel socket 478 Pentium 4
processor up to 2.4GHz and beyond, SiS 645 chipset, 4DIMMS; up to 2GB support of
PC2700 DDR memory and up to 3GB support of PC2100/PC1600 DDR memory, optional
C-Media CM18738 6-channel audio, optional Integrated SiS LAN controller, AGP 4X
slot and UDMA 66/100,optional SPDIF interface module.
