| Note | (Note 1) Due to Windows 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 1066 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used.
(Note 3)Use of a CPU that supports ECC is required if you wish to install ECC memory.
(Note 4) If you are installing one or two PCI Express graphics card(s), be sure to install it/them in the PCIE_16_A or/and PCIE_16_B slot(s) for optimum performance. When four graphics cards are installed, the PCIE_16_A and PCIE_16_B slots will operate at up to x8 mode.
(Note 5) Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model.
(Note 6) The adjustable CPU voltage range depends on the CPU being used. |
| 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.
