The ASUS P4T533 i850E Motherboard Review i850E Armed with 32-bit RIMM 4200 By -Chris Angelini and Dave Altavilla June 17th, 2002 ASUS first earned acclaim with the hardware enthusiast community for building reliable motherboards that deliver industry-standard performance. Their products often feature value-added integrations, such as IDE RAID, USB 2.0 and C-Media?s six-channel audio processor (as opposed to the software codec many manufacturers opt for). Accordingly, ASUS boards often command a premium price. The P4T533 is no exception, coming in at more than $300. The price doesn?t tell the whole story however. Along with the motherboard, you also get a 512MB...

The ASUS V8460 Ultra GeForce4 Ti4600 Power and ASUS Quality By -Chris Angelini May 10th, 2002 When you think of the movers and shakers in the motherboard industry, names like Abit, MSI, and ASUS immediately come to mind. Their solid products generally deliver the best stability and more often than not, performance above and beyond their competition. A reputation like that takes years to build and can be torn apart in a single product cycle. So you can be sure that when a big-name Taiwanese manufacturer releases hardware, it?s already been through the ringer on their end. Nowadays, the large manufacturers don?t seem to be content building motherboards alone. They?ve...

The ASUS A7N266-E Motherboard Review An All-In-One Powerhouse! By, Jeff Bouton March 6, 2002 Not satisfied with being a dominant player in the commercial graphics market, nVidia recently made the leap into the chipset market. In some ways it seems like the perfect move for the graphics giant to take. What better way to secure their dominance as a chip maker than to take on a part of the market that has needed a serious shot in the arm for quite some time? Prior to their efforts, it was accepted by most of us that on-board graphics were just meant for simple 2D capability. Not many of us ever really questioned that fact. It was what it was, and if you wanted...

Dueling i845 DDR Boards From Abit and Asus Abit's BD7-RAID and Asus' P4B266 Take Flight By, Dave Altavilla January 23, 2002 We're back again with a look at two new motherboards based on Intel's recently released i845D chipset with DDR SDRAM support. Our initial look at the i845D was centered around some fairly standard issue offerings from Intel and DFI. MSI was the only "tweaker's" board that we put to the test in that round-up and it certainly shined heads and tails above the rest. This time around, we have entries from two strong veterans in the "enthusiast/tweaker's" motherboard market, Abit and Asus. We all know Abit's approach with their...

Asus V8200T5 Deluxe and V8200T2 Deluxe GeForce3 Titanium Series Hot Hardware - nVidia Titanium - Light and Strong By Dave Altavilla 12/3/01 Titanium, named after the mythological Greek Titans in reference to its strength, is an extremely light weight metal that is often used in alloys with Aluminum and Ferrocarbons. Discovered in the late 1700s, Titanium is used especially in aircrafts for fire walls, outer skin, landing-gear components, hydraulic tubing, and engine supports. Light weight tensile strength are key attributes that make this metal and compositions of it, in valuable for designs that need to be nimble, sleek and strong. Nimble, sleek and strong... It seems...

P4 i845 SDRAM Motherboards from Asus and MSI The Asus P4B and MSI 845Pro2-R do battle By, Dave Altavilla September 24th, 2001 The Pentium 4 definitely has had it fair share of struggle and strife. In part, one of the reasons why Intel took some "heat" about the P4, was their choice of system memory interface. True, RAMBUS does provide serious bandwidth advantages over legacy PC133 subsystems but cost factors and business practices of Intel's memory partner, have proven to be a serious thorn in their side. Not too long after the release of Pentium 4, arch rival AMD signed up in the DDR SDRAM camp and provided a lower cost alternative with bandwidth in...

Asus P4T Pentium 4 i850 Motherboard Beyond Intel's Reference Design By Dave Altavilla 12/19/00 The maturation process has begun with respect to Pentium 4 Motherboard offerings. The first wave of product from various major manufacturers is beginning to hit the streets. The designs are improving and with them the performance and configurations of the various models. There is a long road ahead for the Pentium 4 and what we are seeing now in support hardware is still in its infancy. This is our take on a new Pentium 4 motherboard from Asus, the P4T. It is based on the only chipset currently available for the Pentium 4, that being the Intel i850. The first board...

Pentium 4 - Adventures In Over-clocking Pushing the limits with the help of Asus' P4T i850 Motherboard By Dave "Davo" Altavilla 12/11/00 Once in a while we get a product into the lab here at HotHardware that is just plain fun to work with. As a result, we like to take our time with a full review of the product so we have plenty of time to "live with it" before passing judgment. We have been working and living with Asus P4T Motherboard for about a week now and we have been able to do some pretty interesting tricks with it while having a lot of fun in the process.This is a quick peek into the netherworld of over-clocking with the Pentium...
