Note
|
(Note 1) Due to Windows
Vista/XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical
memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to
be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are
installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install
them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.
(Note 3) The PCIEX8_1 and PCIEX8_2 slots share bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1
and PCIEX16_2 slots espectively. When PCIEX8_1 is populated with an expansion
card, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode; when PCIEX8_2 is
populated with an expansion card, the PC IEX16_2 slot will operate at up to
x8 mode.
(Note 4) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will
depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.
(Note 5) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

Remark
|
Due
to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download
Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
Most
hardware/software vendors may no longer offer drivers to support
Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will
update them on the GIGABYTE website.
