CAUTION!
1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please che ck page 23.
2. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.
CPU FSB FrequencyMemory Support Frequency

400DDR266
3. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly before
you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray
thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC
system.
4. Because the installed AMR card will occupy the same external connecting
position with the PCI card installed in “PCI3” slot, you will not be able to
install any PCI card in “PCI3” slot if an AMR card has already been
installed in the AMR slot.
5. The AGI 8X slot is a special design that only supports compatible AGP VGA
cards. For the information of the compatible AGP VGA cards, please
refer to the “Supported AGP VGA Cards List” on page 7/8. For the
proper installation of AGP VGA card, please refer to the installation guide
on page 14.
6. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows
XP SP1/2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows
98/ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
7. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended
to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU
bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the
CPU.
