Int e l
®
65 n ano met e r p roc e ss tec h nol ogy sup por t
The motherboard supports Intel® processors built on the 65-nanometer
(nm) process technology with copper interconnect. Intel’s 65 nm process is
the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough
performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption.
The Intel® 65 nm Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for
a thinner, lighter design without compromising performance.
Dua l -c h ann e l D DR4 0 0 m emo r y s upp o rt
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology,
the motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using
DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See 1-15 to 1-18 for details.
Ser i al ATA te c hno l og y
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces and the Intel® ICH5 chipset. The SATA specication allows
for thinner, more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-27 for details.
6-c h an n el a ud i o s u pp o rt
The motherboard comes with the ADI AD1888JCPZ high-denition audio
CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to
buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-24 and page 1-25 for details.
AGP 8X sup p or t
The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specication enhances graphics
performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.
USB 2.0 te c hno log y
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specication, 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 1-25 and page 1-30 for
details.
1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.3 .2 Inn ov at ive A SU S f ea tu res
ASU S E Z Fl a sh BIO S
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 oppy disk. See page 2-3 for details.
C.P . R. (CP U P a ram e te r Re c al l )
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 the BIOS automatically restores the CPU default
setting for each parameter.
ASU S M y Log o ™
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and
add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See details on page
2-29.
Tem p er a tur e , f an, an d vo l ta g e m o ni t ori n g
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 xure detection. The ASIC
monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical
components.
ASUS P5PE-VM 1-5
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.
1.4 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.

1.5 Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis
to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage
motherboard components.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the
chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the
rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.

1.6 .1 Ins ta ll ing t he CP U
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.
•
Your boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processor package should
come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink
assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap
is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your
retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any
damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/motherboard components.
ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/
transit-related.
• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the
motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.
•
The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/
loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing
towards you and the load lever is on your left.

3. Lift the load lever in the direction
of the arrow to a 135º angle.
4. Lift the load plate with your
thumb and forenger to a 100º
angle (A), then push the PnP cap
from the load plate window to
remove (B).
5. Position the CPU over the
socket, making sure that
the gold triangle is on
the bottom-left corner of
the socket. The socket
alignment key should t
into the CPU notch.
To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap
unless you are installing a CPU.
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A) and move it to the left (B)
until it is released from the retention tab.

www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.
To use the Hyper-Threading Technology on this motherboard:
1. Install an Intel
®
Pentium® 4 CPU in the 775-land package that supports
Hyper-Threading Technology.
2. Power up the system and enter the BIOS Setup (see Chapter 2:
BIOS setup). Under the Advanced Menu, make sure that the item
Hyper-Threading Technology is set to Enabled. The item appears only
if you installed a CPU that supports Hyper-Threading Technology.
3. Reboot the computer.
