Note: 1. Refer to the table above to choose the correct
voltage for the CPU everytime that you install a CPU.
2. Make sure that your JP3 is matched with the CPU voltage, otherwise will damage the CPU or make the system unstable.
3. When the new CPU is announced and is not listed on this manual, please refer to the above table, select the correct voltage setting for it.
AGP Driver for Win95 Installation
Requirement
¥ Microsoft Windows95OSR2.1 (OSR2.0 with USB upgrade)
¥ Apollo MVP3 AGP VxD Driver
¥ AGP VGA Card with Driver
¥ DirectX 5.0 (or higher) DDK or SDK
Installation Procedure
Step1 Go to the next step if you are running
Win95OSR2.0/2.1, and if not, install Windows95
4.00.950B or later version
Step2 Install USBSUPP.EXE program (USB upgrade)
Step3 Install Microsoft DirectX 5.0 (or higher) DDK or
SDK
Step4 Install AGP driver for Windows95
Step5 Install Apollo MVP3 AGP VxD Driver, run
ÒSETUP.EXEÓ program
To make sure if the Apollo MVP3 AGP driver is properly installed, boot up the system and run the ÒRegeditÓ to check if the following path with VIAGARTD exists:
Hardware Installation 5
Page 11
ÒHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\ Services\VxDÓ.
Follow the below procedure to check if the AGP driver is capable to activate:
1. Activate ÒControl Panel,Ó
2. Click ÒDirectX,Ó
3. Click ÒDirectDraw,Ó and
4. Check if there are some values in ÒBitÓ and ÒOverlays.Ó If there are some values, the AGP is able to activate.

the same as the AGP clock (66MHz), however in the 100MHz Bus Clock environment, make sure that the SDRAM is compliant with PC-100 spec., otherwise JP1 and JP6 should be set as above.
2. K6 2-266 setting is the same as K6-266.
3. Only the new model clock generator (e.g., Winbond W83194R-37, ICS 9148BF-37, PhaseLink PLL52C66-29), supports 95MHz, please check with your dealer before using K6 2-333 CPU.

Choose Max. Saving, User Define (default), Disabled, or Min Saving.
Choose Yes or No (default). You need to choose Yes when the operating system has the APM functions, choose No otherwise.
Video Off Option Choose N/A (default), Doze,
Standby, or Suspend. This function determines the timing of the monitor closed down functions.
Page 34
Video Off Method Choose Blank , DPMS, or V/H
Sync+Blank (default). You can chose either DPMS or V/H Sync+Blank when the monitor has the Green function. You need to choose Blank when the monitor does not have the Green function.

modem which is being used so that the ring signal can wakeup the system. The default setting is 3 (COM2).
HDD power Down Time is adjustable from 1 to 15
minutes. When the set time has elapsed, the BIOS sends a command to the HDD to power down, which turns off the motor.
Doze Mode This option sets the CPU speed
down to 33MHz during this mode.
Suspend Mode This option allows you to choose
the mode for the different timers. The Standby Mode turns off the VGA monitor, and the Suspend Mode turns off the CPU and saves the energy of the system.
