About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 26. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 15 for proper installation. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. 4. If you install PCI Express VGA card to AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4), PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1) and SATAII functions will be disabled. For the information of the compatible PCI Express VGA cards, please refer to the "Supported PCI Express VGA Card List for AGI Express Slot (PCI Express x 4)" on page 8. For the proper installation of PCI Express VGA card, please refer to the installation guide on page 16. 5. 6. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 10 for proper connection. 7. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. 8. Because of Intel 915PL chipset limitation, Windows 98 / ME does not support USB 2.0 but only USB 1.1. Besides, after installing Windows 98 / ME, two display adapter controllers will appear in "Display Adapters" of "Device Manager". Please remove one of the display adapter controllers, and then you can successfully install the VGA driver. 3. 7 1.3 Supported PCI Express VGA Card List for AGI Express Slot (PCI Express x 4) (for Windows 2000/Windows XP) Graphics Chip Vendor n-VIDIA Model Name ASUS EN5750 ASUS Extreme N5900 ASUS EN6200GE ASUS EN6200 ASUS EN6600 ASUS EN6800GT ASUS EN6800 ALBATRON PC6600GT GIGABYTE GV-NX66128D GIGABYTE GV-NX62128D LEADTEK PX6200 TC/TDH MSI PCX 5750-TD128 SPARKLE GeFORCE 6200TC Chipset Name GeForce PCX5750 GeForce PCX5900 GeForce 6200 GeForce 6200 GeForce 6600 GeForce 6800GT GeForce 6800 GeForce 6600GT GeForce 6600 GeForce 6200 GeForce 6200TC GeForce PCX5750 GeForce 6200TC Radeon X600 XT Radeon X700 PRO Radeon X600 XT Radeon X300 Radeon X600 PRO Radeon X850 XT Radeon X800 XT ATI ASUS EAX600XT/HTVD ASUS EAX700PRO/TVD ABIT X600XT Gecube RX300 GIGABYTE GV-RX60P128D GECUBE X850XT-VIVO MSI X800XT For the latest updates of the supported PCI Express VGA card list for AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4), please visit our website for details.
