Yo, I am geting a asus P4S533 mobo with a P4-1.6a chip and want to run it at 2.4 if I can or adleast 2.2. What ram should I use for this oc speed ?? Board specs are:
Intel® Socket 478 Pentium® 4 processor support up to 2.4GHz and beyond
533MHz front-side-bus
SiS® 645DX chipset
3 DIMMs up to 3GB of PC2700/PC2100/PC1600 DDR memory support
C-Media CM18738 6-channel audio
Optional Integrated SiS® LAN controller
AGP 4X slot, UDMA 66/100 ~THIS IS A TYPE/O I THINK IT ALSO SUPPORTS ATA 133!!
MuTIOL® bus advanced I/O technology
Optional SPDIF interface module
6 PCI, AGP 4X slot, up to 6 USB ports
ATX form-factor
I'll be getting the ram from here :http://www.atic.ca/RAM.htm

I posted a reply I got from Allen Gu over at Asus on the Cooling thread. He said that you should get the P4S333. Go with PC2700 from Corsair.

the P4S333 has the sis645 chipset.
the P4S533 has the sis645DX chipset...which is a modified version of the sis645 chip...the dx is slightly faster than its predecessor.

pr497 is correct but I do not know the specs on either Chipset. If the DX runs AGP 2.0 Universal than you <b>should</b> be able to run the 3.3V Voodoo card through it. But that is a should and not a will be able to. That is why I contacted Asus.

Thanks for choosing ASUSTeK.

You can choose our P4S333 series motherboard which support both AGP 1.5V and AGP 3.3V.s

Best Regards,
ASUS Customer Service Center Shanghai

So I will ask again if you can use the 645DX chipset.

BTW: If anyone knows where I can get a hold of the white sheets I would greatly appreciate it.

the P4S333 and P4S533 motherboards are essentially the same board...just with different northbridges...
whatever the P4S333 supports...the P4S533 will support it too...
