Note

(Note 1) Due to Windows 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) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.

(Note 3) The resolution of 2560x1600 is supported only when Dual Link DVI mode is enabled.

(Note 4) To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

(Note 5) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.

(Note 6) Whether the APU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the APU/system cooler you install.

(Note 7) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

Remark

1. Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
2. Most hardware/software vendors may no longer offer drivers to support Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website.
