I'm looking for this P4B533V motherboard 5150Joker said they're available at cdrexpress, anywhere else? Their shipping is a little pricey there. Anyway, if not anywhere else, I'll still get one.

I know the vm is micro atx but are any features missing from it?

Well for one, you should have caught on to this. It's missing 3 PCI slots from the V version. And yea, its missing some of those voltage features.
Finally my -V has arrived. Two things are true...
1. Playing the Post Reporter thru the internal speaker is a joke. (Antec 880) Sounds like she is underwater. At least I think it's a she.
2. Formatting an 80gb drive takes forever.

Hi All:
After reading several VERY GOOD posts (jsethi, Joker to name a few) on this board and agonizing over Epox 4G4A+, I pulled the trigger on P4B533-V. Here is what I have my for my system:
MB: ASUS P4B533-V
MEM: Corsair 512MB PC3200 XMS
CPU: 1.6A NW
CASE: Kingwin Aluminium Sliver
PWR: Antec TRU 550W
RAID: Highpoint 404
HDD: WD 120JB SE X 4 (Raid 0+1)
MODEM: USR Performance Pro
VIDEO: NONE (Planning to use integrated video and upgrade to ATI 8500DV 128MB when prices come down (when?)
SOUND: Built in MB
NIC: Built in MB
All parts are in but I am not (out of town). Will be building this weekend. I want to overclock to 160FSB, DDR400 (4:5 divider). This is where I need help from you experts:
1. What should be my initial power up settings, jumperless (is this the default?) or set the FSB manually?
2. What are the optimum VCore and vmem settings for this FSB?
3. CAS settings?
4. This is my first time overclocking. Should I burn in at default speed for 24 hours before attempting to overclock?
5. I keep reading about the 3:4 trick on ASUS boards but I don't know how to do this or can this be done on this MB.
6. Downloaded Prime 95, PCMark 2002 and 3DMark SE (scores will suck I know due to integrated video). Is this enough to stress the system to test stability?
WISH ME LUCK

I just bought the P4B533-V and other gear as follows
P4B533-V from CDRexpress - $184
P4/2.4B & AS3 from New Egg - $421
Xtreme DDR PC3200 512meg from PC-Pitstop - $188
For a total of $793, which includes shipping (2 day air).
I'm upgrading from a P3/1.0GHz BX board, so this should be a significant upgrade. Hopefully I can use the information in this forum to overclock it. My target is ~2.8 Ghz. I hope the memory doesn't cause a problem. I've read that the 512 meg dual sided modules don't overclock as well, but I bought it as oposed to 2x256 because I might want to go up to 1gig of ram soon.
I should have the stuff installed by the middle of next week, and I'll post my experiences and scores then.
