| Note |
(Note 1) Due to Windows Vista/XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) Whether 1200 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used.
(Note 3) When two graphics cards are installed, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at uup to x8 mode.
(Note 4) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
(Note 5) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.
(Note 6) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
(Note 7) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install an AMD AM2+ Phenom series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver. |
| Remark |
- Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
- Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME drivers available, we will publish on website.
