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).
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 AT i 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
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.
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
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.

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
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
completely.
1. Fasten the cooling fan supportingbase onto the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
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 cooling 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.

DDR Introduction
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 bottleneck 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
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
™
4 Windows based Overclocking utility
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.
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
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.

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.

I. Q: What is DualBIOS™ technology?
Answer:
DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this
technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS
™
technology simply
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.
DualBIOS™ Technology FAQ
GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your
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™?
On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For simplicity
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.

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.
1. DualBIOS
™
technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It
protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detec-
tion/assignment.
2. DualBIOS
™
provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during boot
up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible. In the
DualBIOS
™
utility, the "Auto Recovery" option will guarantee that if either the main BIOS or
backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOS
™
technology will use the good BIOS and correct the
wrong BIOS automatically.
3. DualBIOS
™
provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOS™ technology contains a built-in
flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa versa. There is
no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.
4. DualBIOS
™
contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash utility will ensure that the
corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the correct BIOS
(main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from being flashed.

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOS™ technology?
Answer:
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.

FAQ
Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a
specific motherboard model, please log on to
http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm
Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS.
Why?
Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys
after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.
Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?
Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts
down and that's why the light is still on.
Question 3: Why cannot I use all functions in EasyTune
™
4?
Answer: The availability of the listed functions in EasyTune
™
4 depends on the MB chipset. If the
chipset doesn't support certain functions in EasyTune
™
4, these functions will be locked automati-
cally and you will not be able to use them.
Question 4: Why do I fail to install RAID and ATA drivers under Win 2000 and XP on boards that
support RAID function after I connect the boot HDD to IDE3 or IDE4 ?
Answer: First of all, you need to save some files in the CD-ROM to a floppy disk before installing
drivers. You also need to go through some rather different steps in the installation process. Therefore,
we suggest that you refer to the installation steps in the RAID manual at our website.
(Please download it at
http://tw.giga-byte.com/support/user_pdf/raid_manual.pdf)
Question 5: How do I clear CMOS?
Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the
manual. If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak
voltage to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below:
Steps:
1. Turn off power.
2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.
3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a
metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to make
them short for one minute).
4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.
5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.
6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults.
7. Save changes and reboot the system.
Page 96
- 92 -GA-8IG1000 Series Motherboard
English
Question 6: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS?
Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing
BIOS. However, if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem.
Question 7: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?
Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not,
please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.
Question 8: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card?
Answer: Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so
you don't need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA.
Question 9: Why cannot I use the IDE 2?
Answer: Please refer to the user manual and check whether you have connected any cable that
is not provided with the motherboard package to the USB Over Current pin in the Front USB
Panel. If the cable is your own cable, please remove it from this pin and do not connect any of your
own cables to it.
Question 10: Sometimes I hear different continuous beeps from computer after system boots up.
