asus blue magic

[ClutchWorks]

Does anyone know what the deal is with the asus "blue magic" pci slot is. The manual for my p4pe-bp mentions it having one but no where does it explain what the magic is all about. Ya i see it.....its blue......wow.....must be magic.....wtf???

The Blue PCI slot is called "Blue Magic Slot" by ASUS. Apart from supporting ordinary PCI functions it supports Wireless LAN cards for 802.11a, 802.11b & Bluetooth standards of which ASUS will be introducing a wireless LAN card later on that will support all three standards

Coppied that from a website selling the board...

is this the board you overclocked your celery on?

I just got a 1.1ghz celery...1 amazing overclocker it does 1.55mhz on a 440bx board...it will post at up to 1705mhz...but it cannot get past the windows splash screen...i think the increased agp bus is holding me back...

Ya one in the same.....it has a fixed agp/pci frequency so altering the fsb has no effect on the agp/pci. It is actually pretty sweet and comes bundled with round ide cables, and a 32mb usb flash drive for only $5 more than the p4pe
