Asus P4GE-V Computer Hardware User Manual


 
ASUS P4GE-V motherboard user guide
1-3
Integrated VGA
The Intel 845GE Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) has an
integrated graphics controller that delivers 3D, 2D, and video capabilities.
The GMCH video engines support video conferencing and other video
applications. The Brookdale-G GMCH is compliant with the
Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) Specification Rev. 1.0
, and supports high-speed interface
to a digital display when a DVI-compliant external device is present. See
pages 2-15 and 4-22.
BlueMagic PCI slot
The ASUS proprietary BlueMagic slot is onboard to support future ASUS
function cards that are also compliant to PCI specification. See page 1-9.
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 default
settings for each parameter. See page 2-17.
ASUS EZ Plug
This patented ASUS technology lets you use your existing power supply
rather than buying a new ATX 12V power supply. The ASUS EZ Plug is
a 4-pin auxillary +12V connector mounted on the motherboard that
connects a regular 4-pin device power connector from the power supply.
This connector is necessary to provide the additional power required by
the P4 CPU. See page 2-21.
ASUS POST Reporter
P4GE-V offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST Reporter
to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the Power-On Self-
Tests (POST). Through an added external speaker, you will hear the
messages informing you of the system boot status and causes of boot
errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software allows you to
customize the voice messages, and provides multi-language support. See
pages 3-1, 4-25, and 5-17.
