Mike Andrawes van AnandTech heeft een review in elkaar getikt rondom het P3V4X Apollo Pro 133A moederbord van Asus met 1x AGP, 6x PCI, 1x ISA en 4 DIMM sloten. Voor overklokkers zijn er 32 bussnelheden aanwezig die met behulp van het bios of dip switches kunnen worden gekozen:
ASUS's latest boards feature their JumperFree CPU configuration as well as DIP switches on the board. In their default position, the DIP switches are ignored and the CPU is configured from within the BIOS. For those that don't feel as comfortable with the jumperless setup - e.g. a system that will be available for public use - the CPU can be configured by the DIP switches.
Nine high quality 1500uF sit behind the Slot-1 connector and contribute to the rock solid stability of the P3V4X. In fact, we found the P3V4X to be the most stable Apollo Pro 133A board in our initial roundup. Thanks to core voltage tweaks in the BIOS and a plethora of FSB speeds, we had no problems overclocking our test-bed Pentium III 550E and 733EB without compromising stability. Those FSB speeds include 66 / 68 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 / 95 / 100 / 103 / 105 / 110 / 112 / 115 / 116 / 118 / 120 / 124 / 126 / 130 / 133 / 135 / 138 / 140 / 142 / 144 / 146 / 148 / 150 / 155 / 160 / 166 - that's a total of 32 settings and are spaced well to keep almost any overclocker happy. AGP and PCI speeds are all kept as close to spec as possible thanks to the AGP/PCI ratios being automatically set, even while overclocking. It should be noted that there are only 16 possible FSB speeds when configured via the DIP switches, but all are available in JumperFree mode.
Vanwege de 4.00 AGP GART driver uit de VIA 4-in-1 v4.20 driver pack presteert dit bordje nog steeds bagger in games. Het wachten is nog op een fix van VIA, gebruik in de tussentijd versie 4.17.
