    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.
