I cannot find a P4S533VX at ASUS. I do see a few P4S533... such as P4S533MX. The ASUS site has a CPU compatibility guide:

I can't get the link above to work?

What happens? It works for me.

Anyway this is the max CPU for the MX:

P4-3.06 GHz (533 FSB, L2 cache:512KB, HT, C1/D1)

If the link still fails go here and follow the process:

http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us

Product = Motherboard

Series = Socket 478

Model = P4S533...

On the left menu is a CPU support guide.

However now I am getting errors from the ASUS site as to too much activity.

Perhaps try later.

The P4-3.06 GHz appears to be what you are limited to. You will need the latest BIOS in order to use it.
