1.3 Special features
1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array
(LGA) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land
package. The motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor. The
motherboard also supports the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and is
fully compatible with Intel® 04B and 04A processors.
See page 2-7 for details.
Intel® 915P
The Intel® 915P chipset provides the interface for a processor in the
775-land package with 533/800MHz front side bus (FSB), dual channel
DDR/DDR2 at speeds of up to 533MHz, and PCI Express x16-lane port for
graphics card. The Intel® 915P MCH platform is compliant to the Direct
Media Interface (DMI) and supports the sixth generation I/O Controller Hub
(ICH6).
DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer
rates of 533/400 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the
latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel
DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost
system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up
to 8.5 GB/s. The motherboard also allows you to overclock DDR2-533
DIMMs up to 600 MHz while maintaining the CPU Front Side Bus at 800
MHz*. See pages 2-13 and 4-19 for details.
* Visit the ASUS website for the list of qualified DDR2-533 DIMMS that support 600 MHz
frequency.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel® ICH6R. The SATA specification allows for thinner,
more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and
up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate.
1-2
Chapter 1: Product introduction
Triple RAID solution
Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with multi-RAID
functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or
Serial ATA devices.
The Intel® ICH6R allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration for four SATA
connectors and supports the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology. See pages
2-26 and 5-27 for details.
The Sil3114R controller supports four additional SATA connectors and
allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, JBOD, and a software patch to support
RAID 5. See pages 2-27 and 5-17 for details.
If you are using IDE hard disk drives, the ITE 8212 controller provides
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD functionality for two IDE channels
that supports for up to four IDE hard disk drives. See pages 2-25 and 5-31
for details.
PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point
serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by
carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with
existing PCI specifications. See page 2-18 for details.
8-channel high definition audio
Onboard is the C-Media CMI9880 7.1-channel audio CODEC. This CODEC is
fully-compliant with Intel® High Definition Audio standard (192 KHz, 24-bit
audio). With the CODEC, 8-channel audio ports, and S/PDIF interfaces, you
can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce
crystal-clear digital audio.
The CMI9880 CODEC comes with a software application that features jack
detection to monitor the plugging status of each jack, impedance sensing
to determine audio device classes, and pre-defined equalization for various
audio devices. See page 2-22 and 2-23 for details.
Dolby® Digital Live™
The CMI9880 audio CODEC comes with an AC-3 encoder capable of
transforming your computer’s digital audio contents into real-time Dolby®
Digital stream. This digital stream passes through the S/PDIF out interfaces
to an AC-3 or DTS decoder for 7.1-channel playback.
ASUS P5GD2 Deluxe
1-3
S/PDIF digital sound ready
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF In/Out function through the S/PDIF
interfaces on the rear panel and at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns
your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity
to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 2-23 for details.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 2-23 and 2-29 for details.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond
Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations
per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC
monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical
components.

Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.3.2 ASUS Proactive features
ASUS Stack Cool
ASUS Stack Cool is an ideal thermal solution that reduces the heat
dissipated by large capacitors and motherboard components. By placing a
specially designed PCB under the motherboard CPU socket, Stack Cool
effectively lowers the system temperature by 10º Celsius. Cooler system
temperature means more stable system performance, longer component
life, and more silent operation.
ASUS WiFi-g™
(Wireless Edition only)
ASUS WiFi-g™ is an IEEE 802.11g-compliant wireless LAN adapter that
allows data transmission of up to 54 Mbps using the 2.4 GHz frequency
band. ASUS provides full software application support and a user-friendly wizard
to help you set up your wireless local area network effortlessly. The ASUS
WiFi-g™ is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b devices.
AI NOS™ (Non-Delay Overclocking System)
ASUS Non-delay Overclocking System™ (NOS) is a technology that
auto-detects the CPU loading and dynamically overclocks the CPU speed
only when needed.
AI Net2
AI Net2 is a BIOS-based diagnostic tool that detects and reports Ethernet
cable faults and shorts. With this utility, you can easily monitor the
condition of the Ethernet cable(s) connected to the LAN (RJ-45) port(s).
During the bootup process, AI Net2 immediately diagnoses the LAN
cable(s) and reports shorts and faults up to 100 meters at 1 meter
accuracy.

1.3.3 Innovative ASUS features
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD
in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See details on page 4-5.
ASUS Q-Fan 2 technology
The ASUS Q-Fan 2 technology smartly adjusts the CPU and chassis fan
speeds according to the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient
operation. See page 4-33 for details.
ASUS POST Reporter™
The motherboard offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST
Reporter™ to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the
Power-On Self-Tests (POST) informing you of the system boot status and
causes of boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software
lets you to customize the voice messages in different languages. See page
3-3 for details.
ASUS Multi-language BIOS
The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice
from the available options. The localized BIOS menus allow you to configure
easier and faster. See page 4-13 for details.
ASUS MyLogo2™
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and
add style to your system with customizable boot logos.

2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
•
•
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to
a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
•
•
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•
Before you install or remove any component, ensure
that the ATX power supply is switched off or the
power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure
to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,
and/or components.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to
indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode.
This is a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug
the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard
component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard
LED.
