What you get
ASUS has never been stingy about the bundle shipped with their mainboards and even though some of the stuff included was not as
fancy as what some competitors offered, the included documentation, hardware and driver support was never anything short of
exemplary. Along this tradition are the features of the A7V333, there are some old acquaintances as the custom tailored I/O shield
which is needed since the ATX I/O connector block is non-standard. Standard features also include the manual and install CD along
with the little bag with extra jumpers and two 80 ribbon UATA cables and the mandatory floppy cable. Here it is, though where the
standard features end. In terms of documentation, ASUS has added a Quick Reference Card that, at one glance, shows the A7V333
by numbers. Unfortunately, though, there is no legend to explain the numbers, a small but potentially painful and at least puzzling
omission. Another quick setup guide in a gazillion of languages makes sure that worldwide distribution of the board is not hindered by
language barriers.
The lack of the explanatory collateral for the Quick Reference Card is more than made up for by the included sticker with all
mainboard settings and jumpers, that is, as long as they are documented at all. The sticker further contains the settings for the 6 x
dip switch that can be used to manually select the external CPU frequency (a better description than Front Side Bus which is a
Pentium2 legacy) from 100 MHz all the way up to 230 MHz. The sticker also features descriptions of all jumpers except for JP1 and
JP2, we will have more on those later.
