Tweakers AU has a review of the Asus i845E action.
Although the ASUS P4B533-E motherboard is rather pricey, near the $400-420 AUD or $200-220 USD mark, for the performance and endless list of features you're getting, it's actually excellent value all round. The P4B533-E compares closely with the PC800 based IWILL board, and outperforms the SOYO SiS645DX board that is even teamed with DDR333. If you're after a fully integrated performance P4 platform, without the price premium of an expensive i850E solution, then the i845E based ASUS P4B533-E is definitely worth considering. The onboard LAN and IEEE 1394 ports are actually optional extras, so cutting them out of the equation should save a few extra dollars as well. Special thanks go out to Cassa Australia who supplied the board for our testing, and also happen to be one of the major distributors for ASUS down under.
