    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) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot. The PCIEX8_1 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 slot. When PCIEX8_1 is populated with a PCI Express graphics card, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode.
    (Note 3) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.
    (Note 4) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
    (Note 5) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install the AMD AM3 Phenom II/ AM2+ Phenom series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver.
