When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice
is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X
(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP
4X/8X (1.5V).
AGP 4X/8X notch
Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by Intel® 845(GE/PE) / 845(E/G)
/ 850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/P) / 875P. You might experience system
unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X card.
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X
mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X(1.5V) mode
by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The
GA-8IG1000 Series (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not
function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to 4X
(1.5V) mode in it.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power Color",
the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their golden finger is
compatible with 2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support 2X
(3.3V) only. The GA-8IG1000 Series (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards
might not function properly, If you install this card in it.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X(1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with Intel® 845(GE/PE) /
845(E/G) / 850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/P) / 875P based motherboards.
Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from PCI
slots if there is one.

Warning
English
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis…
are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the
mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so
be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying
about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the
motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the
screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may
damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
ower connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there

Due to chipset (Intel 875P/865G/865PE) architecture limitation, a FSB 800 Pentium 4 processor
will support DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 memory module. A FSB 533 Pentium 4 processor will
support DDR333 and DDR266 memory module. A FSB 400 Pentium 4 processor will only support
DDR 266 memory module.
(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and
therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 GB of memory size
will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system startup.

Step 1-2 : CPU Cooling Fan Installation
Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning:
1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat
conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of
the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cool-
ing fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with
the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from
happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of
thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
3.Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan
connector, this completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail
installation procedure.
English
1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-
base onto the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
completely.

Step 2: Install Memory Modules
English
The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically
detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM
socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary
between sockets.
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:
1. Please note that the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction
due to the notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation.
Please change the insert orientation.
Notch
DDR
GA-8IG1000 Series supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology,
the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s.
GA-8IG1000 Series includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:
Channel A : DIMM 1, DIMM 2
Channel B : DIMM 3, DIMM 4
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to
the limitation of Intel® chipset specifications.
1. Only one DDR memory module is installed: The Dual Channel Technology can't operate when only
one DDR memory module is installed.
- 14 -GA-8IG1000 Series Motherboard
Page 19
2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual
Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into
Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel
Technology will not operate.
3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel Technology
will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of them will not be detected.
4. Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the same
time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same
memory size and type.
We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the
same color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.
The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:

Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high
performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs, and
system integrators.
DDR memory is a great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance bottle-
neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/s of
DDR400 memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is
the best choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are suitable for
servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.

@BIOS™ Introduction
Gigabyte announces @BIOS
Windows BIOS Live Update Utility
Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like
many other people, you just know what BIOS is,
but always hesitate to update it? Because you think
updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually
you don't know how to update it.
Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time
to do it. But of course you don't like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website
and then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update
BIOS. The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS
source code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your
time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte
announces @BIOS -- the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update software.
It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS update
software, it's a Windows utility. With the help of "@BIOS", BIOS updating is no more than a click.
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it's a Gigabyte's product*, @BIOS help
you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to
choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site
automatically. There are several different choices; you could use "Internet Update" to download and
update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose
"Save Current BIOS" to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update
your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and
manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte's innovative product erects a milestone in motherboard
industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It's free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabyte's motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please
remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your
Gigabyte @BIOS.

EasyTune™ 4 Introduction
Gigabyte announces EasyTune
English
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.
to do "Overclock". And even with these technologies, they still learn that it's quite a risk because the
safety and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything is different because of a
Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte. This windows based
utility has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first windows based overclocking
utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either "Easy Mode" or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who choose "Easy Mode", they just
need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If users
prefer "Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced Mode" to enjoy "sport
drive" class Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to change the system bus
/ AGP / Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system performance. It operates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional overclocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/
jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore, this is a safer
way for "Overclock" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune 4 over
system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side effect is then
well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed has been tested in EasyTune 4, user
can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has already
turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now
free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test drive of
"EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.
*Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products supported list in the web site.
*Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any
damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.
™
4 Windows based Overclocking utility
Overclock" might be one of the most common
issues in computer field. But have many users
ever tried it? The answer is probably "no". Because "Overclock" is thought to be very difficult
and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes "Overclock" is even considered as special
skills found only in some enthusiasts. But as to
the experts in "Overclock", what's the truth? They
may spend quite a lot of time and money to study,
try and use many different hardware or BIOS tools

Flash BIOS Method Introduction
Method 1 : Dual BIOS (*) / Q-Flash
A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?
Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the
Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on
the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while
the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has
happened in your BIOS.
B. How to use Dual BIOS and Q-Flash Utility?
1.) After power on the computer, pressing <Del> immediately during POST (Power On Self Test) it
will allow you to enter Award BIOS CMOS SETUP, then press <F8> to enter Flash utility.

system BIOS. This newest "Value-added" feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE,
is available on this motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.
What's DualBIOS™?
we'll call one your "Main BIOS" and the other we'll call your "Backup BIOS" (your "hot spare"). If your
Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next system boot.
Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a failure in flashing
your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result is the same - the
Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.
I. Q: What is DualBIOS™ technology?
Answer:
technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS
means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS,
and the other is a backup BIOS. The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS, however,
if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the backup BIOS will be automatically
used when the system powered-On. Your PC will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged,
and is completely transparent to the user.

II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOS™ technology?
Answer:
In today's systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common reasons are virus
attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the BIOS (ROM) chip itself.
1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS. They may
corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally.
2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets the system, or if the
power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade.
3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file, then the system may
not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC system hang in operation or during boot.
4. A flash ROM's life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics. The modern PC
utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If a user changes peripherals often,
there is a slight chance of damage to the flash ROM.
With Giga-Byte Technology's patented DualBIOS
™
technology you can reduce the possibility
of hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to above reasons.
This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause by
BIOS failures.
III. Q: How does DualBIOS™ technology work?
Answer:
This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause by
BIOS failures.

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOS™ technology?
Answer:
English
This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause by
BIOS failures.
1. Every user should have DualBIOS
™
technology due to the advancement of computer viruses.
Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system BIOS.
Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against this type of
virus intrusion. The DualBIOS
™
technology will provide a state-of-the-art solution to protect
your PC:
Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a conven-
tional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for repairs.
Case II.) If the "Auto Recovery" option is enabled in the DualBIOS
™
utility, and if a virus
corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically reboot the system
and correct the main BIOS.
Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOS
™
utility may
be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS.
2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS
™
detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup
BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and
backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS
™
technology examines the checksum of
the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS
operates properly.
3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The
benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.
4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOS
™
utility, the
option can be set, "Halt On When BIOS Defects" to be enabled to halt your system with awarning
message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers require constant
operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation, the "Halt On When
BIOS Defects" message may be disabled to avoid system pauses during normal booting.
Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte's DualBIOS
™
technology is the ability to upgrade
from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4 Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.
