The specifications details follow hereafter. ----My view---- I've been using the motherboard for some months now in my main system and although I really appreciate the onboard features the P4S8X-X has over the older P4S533 I somehow can't get rid of the impression that the P4S533 is the stabler of the two. Is it because the onboard sound, network and USB 2.0 garble up resources ? I don't know, but I did run some Sisoft Sandra 2003 benchmarks on both b...more

----Introduction---- Well there is no way I can review this motherboard for Intel Pentium4-type socket 478 processors without referring to my earlier review of the Asus P4S-533 found here : http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/computers/motherboards/asus_p4s533_e_l_sis645dx/_revie w/415876/ Because in that review I regret certain features that this Asus P4S8X-X does have.
