Asus P3V4X
by Clay Mitchell, Oct 24, 2000 6:35am PDTThe techs over at 3D Spotlight have a review of Asus' latest AMD based motherboard (actually VIA Apollo Pro based, but you plug AMD processors into it). It supports all the nifty stuff, PC133 RAM, AGP4, but no ATA100 (wtf?)

Thanks!
The P3V4X represents one of AsusÂ’ VIA chipset based motherboard. It is a combination of AsusÂ’ technology & VIAÂ’s Apollo Pro 133a chipset (VT82C694X & VT82C596B). On its face this motherboard offers the best of both worlds, support for the 133Mhz bus, PC133 RAM, AGP4 & in-built support for UDMA66.

P3V4X is a p3 board, and it's REALLY old (it's one of the first Apollo Pro 133A boards to come out).

eefoof.
It is an okay motherboard, but has some drawbacks, mostly related to using a VIA chipset. AGP is a nightmare, memory bandwidth is not that great, ATA-66 is more like ATA-45, and there are some VIA driver problems.
I'm using one now, I like it, but will probably switch to an 815E.
