ASUS P4T533 i850E + RIMM4200 Review (1)
Overclocker 20 June 2002

You probably have seen reviews of the ASUS P4T533-C. First of its kind, ASUS introduced another major breakthrough with the introduction of P4T533 with support of RIMM3200/4200 RAMBUS. "The RIMM 4200 module is a dual channel RIMM design using 1066 MHz RDRAM memory and provides 4.2GB/s of memory bandwidth, the highest bandwidth memory module available today for the PC market. The design improves ease of implementation for manufacturers by requiring fewer total components. End-users benefit from the convenience of upgrading high performance dual channel memory systems using a single module." according to RAMBUS.COM. Well looks like ASUS has made the ultimate speed demon based on the these latest technology

How will this board's performance with reference to the other P4 platforms? Let's take a look at the specs+gallery in the following pages; benchmarks to follow.
