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) Whether 1066MHz or above memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used. (Note 3) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter. (Note 4) Simultaneous output for DVI-D and HDMI is not supported. (Note 5) If you are installing a PCI Express graphics card, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot. (Note 6) The PCIEX1_2 and PCIEX1_3 slots share bandwidth with the PCIEX4_1 slot. When the PCIEX4_1 slot is populated with a x4 card, the PCIEX1_2 and PCIEX1_3 slots become unavailable. (Note 7) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install. (Note 8) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model. (Note 9) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install an AMD AM3/ AM2+ series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver. |
Remark |
- Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
- Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME drivers available, we will publish on website.
