1 Chapter 1 Introducing the Motherboard Introduction Thank you for choosing P4X533-A motherboard of great performance and with enhanced function. The P4X533-A is designed to fit the advanced Intel Pentium 4 processors in the 478-pin package. Based on the ATX form factor, this motherboard incorporates the following chipsets: VIA P4X533 Northbridge and VT8237 Southbridge chipsets. This motherboard provides the 533/400 MHz front side bus with extra capability. The P4X533 Northbridge provides a high performance, cost-effective and energy efficient chipset north bridge used for the implementation of desktop personal computer systems. The PT800 provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, V-Link bus and AGP 8X graphics controller bus with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. The P4X533 supports asynchronous AGP and CPU interface for flexible system configuration. It also supports 4 DIMMs of DDR Synchronous DRAMs up to 8 GB and supports a high speed 8- bit 8X 66 MHz Quad Data Transfer interconnect (V-Link) to the South Bridge. The VT8237 Southbridge is a highly integrated peripheral controller, it includes an inte- grated keyboard controller with PS2 mouse support, two-channel Serial ATA/RAID hard disk controller, master mode enhanced Parallel IDE controller with full scatter/gather capability and extension to UltraDMA-133/100/66 for 133/100/66 MB/sec transfer rate, integrated USB 2.0 interface and OnNow/ACPI compliant advanced configuration and power management interface. The VT8237 integrated networking MAC controller with standard MII interface to an external PHY for 10/100Mb Base-T Ethernet or 1/10Mb PNA home networking. There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM1, LPT1, and four USB ports, one optional LAN port, and audio jacks for microphone, line-in, and line-out. This motherboard is designed in a ATX form factor using a four-layer printed circuit board and measures 305 mm x 220 mm. In addition to its excellent performance, the motherboard is featuring a host of high-definition digital media technologies. Introducing the Motherboard

2 Feature Processor Processor P4X533-A uses a 478-pin socket type of Pentium 4 that carries the following features: • Intel P4 Celeron: FSB 400, 128K L2 cache Intel Pentium 4 Willamette: FSB 400, 256K L2 cache Intel Pentium 4 Northwood: FSB 400/533, 512K L2 cache Intel Pentium 4 Northwood: FSB 533, 512K L2 cache, HT supported “Hyper-Threading” technology enables the operating system into thinking it’s hooked up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both on separate “logical” processors within the same physical processor.
