Description
ASUS P4S533-VX Socket 478 Motherboard Intel Pentium 4 SiS 645DX DDR AGP ATX
The ASUS P4S533-VX is a Socket 478 (nPGA478B) ATX system board designed for Intel FC-PGA2 Pentium 4 processors. Built around the SiS 645DX North Bridge and SiS 961B South Bridge chipset, this board supports a 533 or 400 MHz front side bus and pairs it with DDR SDRAM memory, making it a solid platform for Pentium 4 desktop builds of its era. Onboard LAN and audio reduce the need for add-in cards.

Applications
The P4S533-VX dates from the early-to-mid 2000s, squarely in the first wave of Socket 478 Pentium 4 platforms that brought 533 MHz FSB support to desktop PCs. SiS 645DX-based boards were a cost-effective alternative to Intel's own i845E chipset while still delivering DDR memory bandwidth at the same bus speeds. This board is well suited to restoring or maintaining an early Pentium 4 desktop system, building a period-correct retro PC, or serving as a replacement board for legacy software and hardware compatibility testing. The Socket 478 platform supports a wide range of Pentium 4 and Celeron processors available in FC-PGA2 packaging, and the onboard video output (VGA), LAN, and audio make it a self-contained solution requiring only a CPU, RAM, and storage to complete a build. Collectors and retro-computing enthusiasts also seek out working Socket 478 boards for preservation projects from this generation of Intel desktop computing.
This ASUS P4S533-VX Socket 478 ATX motherboard has been tested at our facility and is in good working condition. The board is clean overall with light dust and minor handling marks consistent with careful prior use — no cracked traces, bent pins, or damaged capacitors visible. The Socket 478 retention bracket, DDR DIMM slots, AGP slot, and PCI slots all appear intact and undamaged. The rear I/O panel shows the full complement of ports in good shape.
