Questions about this item

How can I confirm the ASUS P5E posts correctly after installing a LGA 775 processor?

Power on the board and watch for the BIOS splash screen or listen for a single beep; the Intel X38 chipset will initialise memory and show the POST code if the CPU is seated properly.

What ships with the motherboard and which essentials must I source separately?

The package includes the board, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield; you will need to buy a LGA 775 CPU, DDR2 modules up to 8 GB, a power supply, storage drives and a chassis.

Which memory capacity should I select for this X38 board?

The Intel X38 chipset supports a maximum of 8 GB of DDR2, so choose a kit that does not exceed that total across the available slots.
