ASUS considers this their flagship motherboard for the desktop DDR/Intel platform and after testing it for a week I can see why. This board has everything the enthusiast can ask for and still fit in your case so I doubt that anyone would find it not up to par for their system application.

Fast, stable and extremely favorable to the overclocker ASUS once again leads the pack as the top dog in this arena. This board is going in one of my systems so I can say honestly that I highly recommend this motherboard for anyone seeking a solid solution for their P4 needs. Good job ASUS, thumbs up to you!

The Good

An abundance of PHAT features and an overclocking attitude that is unparallel to most others to cross my desk. A high availability on the market at a reasonable cost for what you get in the retail package.

The Bad

Okay it could have had a NB cooler damn it all!

The Ugly

None, overall a fine specimen of a motherboard is to be found in the P4B533-E.
