Iwill P4R533-N i850E Motherboard Review

Iwill is a company that has always targeted the enthusiast community. They were the first to introduce DDR333 and 2/5 and 1/5 AGP, PCI dividers to the AMD users. They're a company that actually listens to its audience as is evident with their XP333-R motherboard. With the P4R533-N, Iwill is again trying to target the extreme performance enthusiast. The Iwill P4R533-N is based on the Intel i850E chipset which combined with the 82801 ICH2 southbridge offers host bus, memory and I/O interfaces capable of running on either 400MHz or 533MHz front side bus speeds. The dual FSB support means that older socket 478 Pentium 4 processors on the Williamette and newer Northwood A cores will run continue to run at a 400MHz FSB. If you are lucky enough to have a Northwood B Pentium 4 it will run with a 533MHz FSB - improving peak bandwidth up to a potential 4.2GB/s.
