  • Supports Intel LGA-775 processors up to 800 MHz FSB
  • Integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics for basic display output

  • Two DDR2 slots accept up to 2 GB memory

Socket LGA-775 platform

The ASUS P5GC-MX is an Intel 945GC motherboard for Socket T LGA-775 processors. It supports Pentium 4, Pentium D, Celeron and Core 2 Duo CPUs with front-side bus speeds of 533 or 800 MHz. Two DDR2 slots accept up to 2 GB of DDR2-400 or DDR2-533 memory. Integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics and 5.1-channel Realtek ALC883 audio are built in.

Builders keeping legacy LGA-775 systems running

This board suits anyone repairing or maintaining an existing Socket T machine that needs integrated graphics and DDR2 memory. It does not suit builders who want more than two memory slots, higher memory capacity, discrete graphics expansion beyond a single PCI Express x16 slot, or modern storage interfaces.

Two DDR2 slots limited to 2 GB total

The maximum memory capacity is 2 GB across two DDR2 slots running at up to 533 MHz. This ceiling decides whether the board can meet the memory needs of the intended operating system and applications.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel GMA 950 graphics are working after installing the board?

Enter the BIOS and confirm the on-board video chipset is detected, then boot the operating system and check that the display outputs an image at the native resolution without adding a separate graphics card.

What cables and accessories are included with the P5GC-MX and what must be sourced separately?

The box contains the motherboard, I/O shield, driver disc and user guide; SATA cables for the four SATA/300 ports, an IDE cable for the single IDE interface and a floppy cable are not included and must be purchased if those drives are used.

Which memory configuration should I choose for the two DDR2 slots given the 2 GB maximum?

Install two 1 GB DDR2-533/PC2-4200 modules to reach the 2 GB limit at the highest supported speed; a single 2 GB module is not supported because the chipset caps total memory at 2 GB across both slots.
