DDR2 600 Native Support 
Although Intel's 925X, 915P and 915G chipsets claimed to only support DDR2 
400/533, ASUS engineers successfully unleashed their true potential. This 
model offers native DDR2 600, eliminating the bottleneck when overclocking 
both the CPU and memory. With current processors supporting 800MHz FSB, 
ASUS motherboards, the only solutions with native DDR2 600, will provide 
superior performance for the most demanding applications.

Choice for Home Networking and Hard-Core Gamers 
ASUS AI Proactive series -- The P5GD2 Premium is a total solution for the Intel 915P chipset. Create a 
wireless home network, build servers and workstations with triple RAID data security, and enjoy dual-
Gbit Ethernet high data throughput with this all-new motherboard. It also supports LGA 775 CPU, dual-
channel DDR 2, PCI Express x16 graphics, Serial ATA and IEEE 1394b. 
 
 Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU 
This motherboard supports the latest Pentium 4 CPU from Intel in LGA775 package. 
With 800MHz FSB, 1 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. 
"Attention!! CPU Installation" 
 
 Intel 915P chipset 
The Intel 915P chipset supports the latest PC technologies such as LGA775 
Pentium 4 CPU, dual-channel DDR2 memory architecture, and PCI Express x16 
graphics card interface. The ICH6R Southbridge further provides integrated 4-port 
SATA RAID controller, PCI Express x1 interfaces and 8 high-speed USB 2.0 ports. 
 
 Dual-Channel DDR2 533 
DDR2 is the next generation memory technology to replace the current DDR. With initial speeds from 
400 and 533MHz, DDR2 memory provides bandwidth up to 4.3GB/s. Doubled by the dual-channel 
architecture, the widest memory bus bandwidth 8.6GB/s is achieved on this motherboard. 
 
 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. 
 
AI Proactive 
 
 Stack Cool™ 
Cooler Overclocking and Quieter Operation! 
Heat causes instability and shortens system lifecycle, and motherboard power 
circuitry is a major thermal source. The patented Stack Cool?technology utilizes a 
mini PCB stacked against the main PCB to conduct heat away from power 
components, resulting in a 10oCelsius reduction. And voila! Cooler overclocking, 
quieter fan operation, greater stability and longer system life without you doing a 
thing. 
 
 WiFi-g onboard (optional) 
Wireless setup made affordable and easy! 
WEP? SSID? Building a home WLAN used to be a hassle with confusing acronyms 
and cryptic menus. With WiFi-g™and its one-touch setup wizard, high-speed 
wireless network is just a few clicks away. WiFi-g?serves as the access point of your 
network or if you already have an access point, it is also a wireless adapter for PCs 
to access existing WLAN. 
(WiFi-g™compliant to IEEE 802.11g 54 Mbps data transfer) 
 
 AI NOS 
Boost performance when you need it the most! 
Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of system 
resource. 
Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS?(Non-delay Overclocking 
System) technology intelligently detects system load and automatically boosts 
performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking 
techniques, AI NOS?reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds. 
 
 AI NET2 
Diagnose LAN connection before entering OS! 
Network problems are often caused by bad cable connection. 
AI NET2 remotely detects cable connection the second you turn on the system, and 
any faulty connections are reported back up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy. 
 
 
 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, 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. The Dolby Digital Live 
technology from Dolby Lab encodes the multi-channel audio source into AC-3 bit-stream and outputs it 
to S/PDIF port in real time. 
 Dual Gigabit LAN 
The integrated dual Gigabit LAN design allows a PC to serve as a network gateway for managing traffic 
between two separate networks. This capability ensures rapid transfer of data from WAN to LAN 
without any added arbitration or latency. No more bottleneck to handle large amounts of data such as 
video, audio, and voice. 
 IEEE 1394b/a 
1394b (FireWire 800) ?with its higher bandwidth up to 800 Mbps, longer distances and much higher-
powered bus ?is more suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like digital video (DV), professional 
audio, hard drives, which often consume hundreds or even thousands of megabytes of data per file. 
With backwards compatibility with 1394a, this motherboard provides 1 x 1394a and 2 x 1394b ports. 
 Serial ATA & IDE RAID 
The onboard Silicon Image Sil3114R and ITE 8212F RAID controllers plus the Intel ICH6R southbridge 
provide the best solution to your RAID requirements on different storage standards. The Intel ICH6R 
supports RAID 0, 1 and Intel Matrix RAID Technology on 4 Serial ATA ports. The Silicon Image 
Sil3114R controller offers four additional SATA interfaces and allows RAID 0, 1, 10, JBOD, and a RAID 
software patch to support RAID 5. For IDE hard disk drives, the ITE 8212F controller provides RAID 0, 
1 , 0+1 functionality for two ATA133 channels. 
 
 ASUS Q-Fan2 
ASUS Q-Fan2 technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis fan speeds according to 
system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation. 
 
 S/PDIF-out on Back I/O Port 
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via an 
optical or coaxial S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) jack. It allows to transfer digital audio 
without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality. 
 
 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. 
 
 Multi-language BIOS 
The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice from the available options. 
The localized BIOS setup menu helps you configure your system easier and faster. 
 
 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 withoutthe need to pay for an 
optional ROM. 
 
 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. 
 
 WinDVD Suite (On Retail Version Only) 
ASUS motherboards, intensifying leadership in the IT industry, now bundle the versatile InterVideo 
WinDVD Suite. This multifaceted software set includes the latest multimedia software(OEM version), 
bringing forth the multimedia features of ASUS motherboards to the best!
