VIA announced that they started shipping one more their mainboard on P4X333 for Pentium 4 processor.
Unlike the previous P4PB board, the new solution is equipped with a new VIA VT8235 South Bridge supporting USB 2.0 and 6-channel sound and featuring an integrated IEEE 1394a (VIA VT6306).

This is an ATX mainboard for Socket478 CPUs, equipped with 3 DIMM slots for up to 3GB PC2700/PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAM. There are 5 PCI slots, an AGP 4x slot, 1 CNR slot, ATA/133. It supports FliteDeck technology (system management: overclocking, status monitoring, BIOS reflashing, etc.). The mainboard is already available for ordering via VPSD (VIA Platform Solutions Division).
