- NoteNote(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. - RemarkRemark
- Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
- Most hardware/software vendors may no longer offer drivers to support Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website.
