CAUTION!

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

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 25 of the User Manual in the support CD.

4. P4i45GV motherboard will support PC2700(DDR333) at FSB 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. 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.

7. The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] 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 8. For the proper installation of AGP VGA card, please refer to the
installation guide on page 16.

8 Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft

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

9. 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.
