ASUS P5GD1 Bios

Intel 915G chipset

The Intel 915G chipset supports the latest PC technologies such as

LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU, dual-channel DDR memory architecture, and PCI

Express x16 graphics card interface. Intel Graphics Media

Accelerator 900 provides a significant increase in graphics

performance. The ICH6 Southbridge further provides integrated

4-port SATA controller, PCI Express x1 interfaces and 8 high-speed

USB 2.0 ports.

Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU

This motherboard supports the latest Pentium 4 CPU from Intel in

LGA775 package. With 800MHz FSB, MB L2 cache, Hyper-Threading

Technology and core-speeds up to 3.6GHz and beyond, Intel's LGA775

Pentium 4 is one of the fastest desktop processors to date.

Dual-channel DDR

Dual-channel DDR technology doubles the bandwidth of your system

memory and hence boost the system performance to out perform any

memory existing solutions in the market. System bottlenecks are

eliminated with balanced architecture and peak bandwidths up .

Powerful Integrated Graphics

The new Intel Graphics engine has new capabilities that provide a

significant increase in graphics performance. DirectX 9 hardware

acceleration, 333MHz core clock, and up to 224MB of video memory

all together provide a full-value, high performance graphic

PCI Express Architecture

PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will

replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than

that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better

than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 also

outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth up to

500MB/s. The high speed PCI Express interface creates new usages on

desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN, 1394b, and high-speed RAID

systems.

High Definition Audio

Enjoy high-end sound system on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD

audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC

enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing

feature and retasking functions. With the 8-channel audio ports and

S/PDIF out interface, you can connect your computer to home theater

decoders to produce crystal-clear digital audio.

Max. 8 USB 2.0 ports supports

USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation

components and peripherals. Backwards compatible with current USB

1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times

faster at 480Mb/s, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data

transfers.

ASUS CrashFree BIOS2

The CrashFree BIOS2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery

function in a support CD. Users can reboot their system through the

support CD when a bootable disk is not available, and go through

the simple BIOS auto-recovery process.

ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature

without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
