| Note | (Note 1) Due to Windows®XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physicalmemory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than4 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 slotwill operate in x8 mode. If you are installing a single PCI Express x16graphics card, please install it in the PCIE_16_1 slot for optimumperformance.
(Note 5) Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model. |
| Remark | - Due to different Linux support condition providedby chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors'website or 3rd party website.
- Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offersupport for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME driversavailable, we will publish on website.
