ASUS P5PL2-E LGA 775 motherboard

This ASUS P5PL2-E is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel 945 chipset and the LGA 775 socket. It supports DDR2 memory up to a maximum of 2GB. The board ships new and includes a SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel.

Suits LGA 775 maintenance or legacy builds

It fits technicians repairing period-correct systems or hobbyists assembling a retro platform that requires the Intel 945 chipset and DDR2 memory. Buyers who need more than 2GB of RAM or a newer socket type should look at a different platform.

Maximum memory limited to 2GB DDR2

The 2GB ceiling is the decisive specification; any configuration requiring higher capacity cannot use this board. Verify that your intended processor and memory modules match the LGA 775 socket and DDR2 standard before purchasing.
