Intel
®
865PE chipset to deliver the highest performance among competing
865PE-based solutions.
SouthBridge Integrated Serial ATA and RAID solution
The motherboard supports the next generation Serial ATA (SATA)
specification with RAID 0 and RAID 1 function through the ICH5R
SouthBridge controller. The SerialATA specification provides scalable
performance with up to 150MB/s data transfer rate and allows a maximum
of two Serial ATA hard disks with RAID 0 and RAID 1 array.
Multi-RAID Function
The motherboard has the Promise PDC30378 controller to support multi-
RAID solution using Serial ATA and UltraDMA hard disks. The RAID 0
(striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), and RAID 0+1 provide a cost-effective
high-performance solution for added system performance and reliability.

ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard 1-3
AGP 8X support

enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up
to 2.12 GB/s.
S/PDIF out
The motherboard supports S/PDIF out function turns your computer into a
high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful
speaker systems.
IEEE 1394 support
The IEEE 1394 interface provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity
to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a
standards. The IEEE 1394 interface allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates
through simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data
interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic
devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras.
8 USB 2.0 ports
The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1
to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 - supporting up to 8 USB 2.0 ports. The
higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of devices such as high
resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation scanners and
printers, and fast storage units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB
1.1.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.3.2 Unique ASUS features
ASUS Wi-Fi slot
The ASUS Wi-Fi slot is designed for the ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card to set
up an environment for wireless LAN. TheASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card
bundles the exclusive software Access Point (AP) to save the extra cost of
a stand-alone AP. In addition, the card comes with user-friendly utilities
and applications that allow quick connection to notebooks, PDAs and
other wireless LAN peripherals. See page 2-19.
AI NET solution
The Marvell
®
Gigabit LAN controller chipset is onboard to provide a single-
chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications. The controller
integrates 32-bit 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet MediaAccess
Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution to
support high performance network applications. The controller is equipped
with the Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) net-diagnosing utility, that intelligently
diagnoses and reports cable faults from a remote location up to 100
meters. This feature helps maintain a more stable network connection.
See page 5-12.
AI Audio technology
The motherboard supports 8-channel audio through the onboard ALC850
CODEC with 16-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3
compatible multi-channel audio designed for PC multimedia systems. It
also features intelligent detection of plugged peripherals into the audio
ports and identifies any incompatible devices. See page 5-13.
AI Overclocking
This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the
installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while
maintaining system stability. See page 4-17.
AI BIOS solution
The AI BIOS is a combination of three ASUS intelligent solutions: Q-Fan,
POST Reporter, and CrashFree BIOS2.

ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard 1-5
ASUS Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to
the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation. See page
4-31.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This
protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page
4-5.
ASUS POST Reporter
The motherboard offers an exciting feature called theASUS 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
page 3-3.
ASUS MyLogo2™
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and
add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See pages 4-34,
5-7.
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 reboot the
system and the BIOS shows the previous setting so users can amend the
CPU setting again.
ASUS EZ Flash BIOS
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 floppy disk. See page 4-4.

1-6 Chapter 1: Product introduction
ASUS Multi-language BIOS
The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice
from the available options. The localized BIOS menus allow you to
configure easier and faster. See page 4-12.
ASUS Instant Music
This unique feature allows you to playback audio files even without
booting the system to Windows™. Just press the ASUS Instant Music
special function keys and enjoy the music! See pages 4-27, 5-9.
ASUS BurnProof
The motherboard offers a new design to prevent CPU,AGP, or memory
slot burn caused by improper installation or insertion. This new feature
adds durability to your motherboard and protection to your investment.
