2.1 The ASUS P4T

The ASUS P4T motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who
wants advanced features processed by the fastest processors.
2.1.1Specifications
• Latest Intel Processor Support
Intel Socket 423 Pentium
• Intel 850 Chipset: Features the Intel
I/O Controller Hub, and Firmware Hub) with support for AGP 4X mode;
400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); and dual channel RDRAM.
• Intel ICH2: The Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) features support for
UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/
sec; and two USB controllers for a total of 4 USB ports.
• PC800 Memory Support: Equipped with four Rambus Inline Memory Module
(RIMM) sockets to support Intel PC800/PC600-compliant Rambus DRAMs
(RDRAMs) (available in 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB densities) up to 2GB.
These RDRAMs are necessary to meet the increase in processor performance
and multimedia and 3D functions, especially where high bandwidth is required.
®
• Intel Accelerated Hub Architecture: Features a dedicated high speed hub
link between the ICH2 and MCH with a bandwidth of 266MB/sec – twice the
maximum bandwidth of the PCI bus.
• AGP Pro Slot: Comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port Pro slot that supports
AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D
graphical applications using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus. Backward compatible
to support AGP 2X and AGP 1X.
• UltraDMA/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller
with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports
UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and Bus Master
IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM,
CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.
• More USB Ports: Supports a total of 4 USB ports for more peripheral connec-
tivity options.
• Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN, Wake-On-Ring, Keyboard Wake-
Up, and BIOS Wake-Up.
• JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of fre-
quency and Vcore voltage all through BIOS setup when JumperFree™ mode is
enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included to allow
manual adjustment of the processor's external frequency.
• Around-the-Clock Intrusion Detection: Chassis intrusion circuitry can log
chassis open events into LDCM. The onboard battery supports detection even
when normal power is removed and through a new design, battery drain is even
lower than the RTC used for keeping time!
