The Asus P4PE series of motherboards used Socket 478 processors, including the second-generation Intel Pentium 4 CPUs. The P4PE is a full ATX size motherboard and supports DDR memory and features an integrated gigabit Ethernet networking adapter. Microsoft Windows may not recognize the Ethernet adapter upon installation and requires the use of driver software to make the network card operate properly. You can install the gigabit Ethernet drivers into the Windows system to make the card work.
