1.3 Special features
Latest processor technology
The motherboard supports the latest Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor via a 478-pin
surface mount ZIF socket. The Pentium 4 processor with 512KB L2 cache on 0.13
micron processor includes a 800/533/400 MHz system bus, Intel® Hyper-Threading
Technology and the FMB2 power design that allows up to 3.2+ GHz core
frequencies for up to 6.4GB/s data transfer rates. See page 1-6.
Dual Channel DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the P4S800D-X
motherboard supports up to 4GB of system memory using PC3200/PC2700/
PC2100/PC1600 DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 1-8.

SiS® HyperStreaming Architecture
The SiS® 655FX integrates the latest HyperStreaming Engine which greatly
improves computer system performance. The HyperStreaming Engine smartly
manages the data streaming to flow smoothly from the peripherals to the core logic
chipsets between the North and South bridge to the Front Side Bus, memory and
graphic interface.
Serial ATA solution with RAID 0, RAID 1 support
The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA)
specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface.
The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin
count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, and
software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. With the integrated controller in the
SIS 964 chipset, the motherboard supports RAID0, RAID1 configuration using
SATA drives. See pages 1-19.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk or
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip.
AGP 8X support
AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables
enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s. With
a bus of 533Mhz, AGP 8X is twice as fast as AGP 4X.
8 USB 2.0 ports
The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast
480 Mbps on USB 2.0. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of
devices such as high resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation
scanners and printers, and fast storage units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with
USB 1.1. See page 1-17.
6-channel digital audio
The ADI AD1888 SoundMAX AC ‘97 audio CODEC is onboard to provide 6-
channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound, and over 90dB dynamic range.
ASUS MyLogo2™
This new feature present in the P4S800D-X motherboard allows you to personalize
and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See details on page
2-27.
S/PDIF out
The motherboard supports S/PDIF out function that turns your computer into a
high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful sound systems.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the
BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the
system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system
chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and
BIOS automatically restores the CPU’s previous setting for each parameter.
ASUS EZ Flash BIOS
With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before
loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a
floppy disk. See page 2-5.
ASUS Instant Music Lite
This unique feature allows you to playback audio files even before entering the
operating system. Just press the ASUS Instant Music special function keys and
enjoy the music! See page 2-21.
1.4 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
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 stand-by power LED. When lit, the green LED
indicates that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode, 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.

Place nine (9) screws into the holes
indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the
screws! Doing so may
damage the motherboard.

1.6.2 Installing the CPU
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing the
lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90°-
Socket Lever
100° angle.
90 - 100
Make sure that the socket lever is
lifted up to 90°-100° angle,
otherwise the CPU does not fit in
completely.
3. Position the CPU above the socket
such that its marked corner matches
the base of the socket lever.
Gold Mark
4. Carefully insert the CPU into the
socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct
orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to prevent
bending the pins and damaging
the CPU!
5. When the CPU is in place, push down
the socket lever to secure the CPU.
The lever clicks on the side tab to
indicate that it is locked.
6. Install a CPU heatsink and fan
following the instructions that came
with the heatsink package.
7. Connect the CPU fan cable to the
CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.

P4S800D-X
P4S800D-X 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets
1. It is recommended to use the blue DIMM slots first.
2. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
both the motherboard and the components.
3. When installing long AGP cards, it is recommended to install the memory
modules first. Long AGP cards, when installed, may interfere with the
memory sockets.
1.7.2 Memory configurations
You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into the
DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
Important notes
1. Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may
cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the
recommended configurations in Table 1.
2. In dual-channel configurations, always install an identical (the same type
and size) DDR DIMM pair on sockets of the same color.
3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.
9. Obtain DDR DIMMs only from ASUS qualified vendors. Visit the ASUS
