CPU
Supports Intel
®
Socket 478 Pentium
®
4 (Willamette / Northwood) 1.4GHz~2.8GHz+ with 400/533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for
Socket 478 technology.
Chipset
The 845GE/PE chipset contains two core components designed for the desktop platform: the 845GE/PE Graphics Memory Controller Hub
(GMCH), and the Intel I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4). These components are interconnected via an Intel proprietary interface called Hub
Interface. The Hub Interface is designed into the 845GE/PE chipset to provide an efficient, high bandwidth communication channel between
the GMCH and the ICH4. The GMCH component provides the processor interface, system memory interface, Hub interface, AGP interface,
and an integrated graphics device with analog and digital display ports (845GE only). The ICH4 integrates a Universal Serial Bus 2.0
controller, Ultra ATA/100 Controller, Low Pin Count interface, Firmware Hub Flash BIOS interface controller, PCI interface controller,
integrated LAN, AC’97 digital controller, and a Hub Interface for communication with the GMCH.
Expansion Slots
Including three 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one AGP 4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP) specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The AGP video cards support data transfer rate up to
1056MB/s. AX4GE Tube-G / AX4PE Tube-G motherboard includes one AGP expansion slot for a bus mastering AGP graphic card. For AD
and SBA signaling, AX4GE Tube-G / AX4PE Tube-G motherboard can support 4X mode. Of three PCI slots provided, all of them are master
PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus.

This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other
components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component. If
a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring
ESD protection.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are marked as
“User Upgrade Optional” or “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. Although all of AOpen’s motherboards have included many amazing and
powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we define features that can be
upgraded by users as “User Upgrade Optional”. You can upgrade these functions by purchasing additional devices. As for functions that
cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. If need be, you can contact our local distributors or
resellers to purchase “Manufacture Upgrade Optional” components, and again you are also welcome to visit our official website at
english.aopen.com.tw
for detail information.
