CAUTION!

1. P4i45GL motherboard may be fine tuned to support higher
CPU bus frequencies on certain condition. Please refer to
“NOTE” on page 7 for the details.

2. If the installed CPU runs with the FSB frequency at 533MHz
on P4i45GL motherboard, it will support PC2100(DDR266)
and PC2800(DDR350).

3. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please
check page 22.

4. P4i45GV motherboard will support PC2700(DDR333) when
the installed CPU runs with the FSB frequency at 533MHz.

5. 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.

6. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
Windows® XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft
Windows® 98/ME/2000. Please refer to Microsoft® official
document at

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

7. Although P4i45GL / P4i45GV offers stepless control,it is not
recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU fre­quency of P4i45GL / P4i45GV is set to perform over clocking,
other clocks, such as PCI clock and Memory clock will also
be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other than the
recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instabi­lity of the system or damage the CPU and the motherboard.
