LGA775 Intel® Core™2 Processor Ready

This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processors in LGA775 package. With new
Intel® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1066 / 800 MHz FSB, Intel® Core™2 processor
is one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.

Intel® 945P Chipset

The Intel 945P is one of the most powerful chipsets in personal computing. It supports
1066MHz FSB (Front Side Bus), PCI Express graphics and dual-channel DDR2 memory, and
Intel's dual-core CPU for fast multi-tasking. Combined with the Intel ICH7 that provides four
Serial ATA II ports and PCI Express interface, the motherboard is an excellent foundation for a
powerful desktop.

Dual-Channel DDR2
DDR2 is the next generation memory technology to replace the current DDR. With the highest speed up to
677MHz (by overclocking), DDR2 memory provides great performance for 3D graphics and other memory
demanding applications.

PCI Express Architecture

PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI interface. 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.

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.

C.P.R.(CPU Parameter Recall)

When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the case to clear CMOS data.
Just simply restart the system, the BIOS would show the previous setting and then users can amend the
CPU setting again.

ASUS EZ Flash
With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS directly from the BIOS setup menu. No more DOS-based flash
utility and bootable diskette required.

Q-Fan
Constant, high-pitched noise generated from heatsink fans are a thing of the past thanks to ASUS Q-Fan.
The ASUS P5L 1394 with Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts fan speeds according to system loading to
ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation.

Q-Connector
* Make connection quick and accurate!
The ASUS Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front panel cables in one easy step
with one complete module. This unique adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time,
making connection quick and accurate.

ASUS MyLogo
* Personalize your system with customizable boot logo
ASUS MyLogo personalizes and adds style to your system with customizable boot logos.

SATA on the Go
The motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage
specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval
and saves. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions.
Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents on external devices.
IEEE 1394a interface
IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/video appliances such as digital
television, digital video camcorders, storage peripherals & other PC portable devices.
High Definition Audio
Enjoy high-end sound system on your PC! The onboard 6-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio,
previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking
functions and multi-streaming technology that simultaneously sends different audio streams to different
destinations. You can now talk to your partners on the headphone while playing a multi-channel network
games. All of these are done on one computer.
S/PDIF-out on Back I/O Port
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via coaxial
S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) jacks. It allows to transfer digital audio without converting to
analog format and keeps the best signal quality.
GreenASUS
The motherboard and its packaging comply with the European Union's Restriction on the use of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS). This is in line with the ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly and recyclable
products and packaging to safeguard consumers' health while minimizing the impact on the environment.
