  • 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) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
    (Note 3) Simultaneous output for DVI-D and HDMI is not supported.
    (Note 3) When two graphics cards are installed, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at uup to x8 mode.
    (Note 4) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot. The PCIEX8_1 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 slot. When PCIEX8_1 is populated with a PCI Express graphics card, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode.
    (Note 5) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.
    (Note 6) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
  • Remark
    1. Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
    2. 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.
