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.
