When you installing AGP card, please makesure the follow ing notice isfully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X notch"(show below), please makesure your AGP card is AGP 4X (1.5V).
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damagethe motherboard due to Intel® 845
/ Intel® 850 chipset can't support AGP 2X(3.3V).
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). If you install this card in GA-8IRE (or any AGP 4X only) motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it will burn the motherboard.
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/4X mode AGP slot, but they support 2X (3.3V) only. If you install these cards in Intel® 845 / Intel® 850 based motherboards, they will burn the motherboard.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S graphics card is based on ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S is compliance with AGP 4X ( 1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S will wor k fine with Intel® 845 /
Intel® 850 based motherboards.

WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicat e Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
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 s upply 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.
Installing the motherboard to the ch assis…
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and thereare 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 benear by thehole. 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.

E
Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications. We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets,SDRA M,Cards….etc.
