Inst alling the
Hardware and Sof tware
Do This First
!
To ensure a successful installation of your ALL-IN-WONDER,
you MUST install AGP Drivers for non-Intel Chipset Based
Motherboards BEFORE replacing your current graphics card.
Several AGP motherboard manufacturers use non-Intel AGP
chipsets. Chipsets include those made by Acer Laboratories
(ALI), Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS), and VIA Technologies,
Inc. Each non-Intel chipset requires the installation of a custom
Virtual GART (AGP) Driver. This driver is required by your
new ATI card to function correctly with your motherbo ard. It is
very important that the correct AGP driver be installed before
installing an AGP video card in your system.
To det ermine what motherboard chipset
is present on your system:
An incorrect or missing GART driver can result in
AGP memory not being detected or a black screen
after Windows® loads.
i
10 Installing the Hardware and Software
Once you have determined the chipset manufacturer for your
motherboard, obtain and then install the latest AGP drivers
from:
VIA Technologies http://www.viaarena.com
Acer Laboratories (ALI) http://www.ali.com.tw
Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS) http://www.sis.com
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) http://www.amd.com
