ASUS P4S333 (SiS 645) Mainboard
|
This giant was first to release a mainboard on this chipset.
Accessories:
- Package: a new design for this company;
- Documentation: a user manual in English; a short installation manual -
in 11 languages;
- Cables: 1 ATA66/100 and 1 FDD;
- Bracket with a serial port for the rear panel;
- Bracket with two USB ports for the rear panel;
- Sticker showing functional connectors and switches;
- Sticker with the company's logo for the front panel;
- CD with software including:
- drivers;
- Adobe Acrobat Reader;
- ASUS Update;
- PowerPlayer SE;
- PowerDVD;
- VideoLive Mail;
- ASUS Hotkey;
- Intel LDCM (LANDesk Client Manager);
- PC-Cillin 2000;
- ASUS PCProbe;
- screensaver from ASUS.
The layout is simple and convenient: for example, IDE and FDD
connectors are placed in front of the memory slots. There are two
connectors for +12V for old power supply units which do not comply
with the ATX 2.03 specification. There is also a traditional ASUS
iPanel connector.
The feed circuits incorporate 6 capacitors of 3300 uF and 3 of 1200
uF.
There are the following controllers: C-Media CMI8738/PCI-6ch-MX supporting
6-piece acoustic systems and having a connector for front audio-outs and
SPDIF; ITE I/O IT8707F controller supporting MultiMedia Card and Secure
Digital Card Reader (the reader connectors are unsoldered); and a proprietary
temperature and fan rotation monitoring chip.
Non-unsoldered connectors: network controller (based on functionality
of the SiS961 south bridge).
Brief characteristics of the board: memory slots - 3 DDR SDRAM;
expansion slots - AGP/ 6 PCI/ ACR; I/O ports - 2 COM/ LPT/ 2 PS/2/ 6 USB;
dimensions - 305x220 mm.
