| 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) When the CrossFireX™ technology is enabled, the PCIE_16_1 slot will operate in x8 mode. If you are installing a single PCI Express x16 graphics card, please install it in the PCIE_16_1 slot for optimum performance.
(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.
