ConRoe865GV motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM
slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration,
you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-
type) memory modules in the DDR DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory
Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.
If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory
modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

sure to install the driver of add-on AGP VGA card before you install
the onboard VGA driver. If the onboard VGA driver has already been
installed before you install the add-on AGP VGA card, the system will
automatically set the onboard VGA as the primary graphics adapter. In
that case, if you want to install the add-on AGP VGA card, you need
to remove the onboard VGA driver first, and then install the add-on
AGP VGA card and its driver. For the detailed instruction, please refer
to the documents in the Support CD, “AGI Slot Installation Guide (for
Windows 2000)” and “AGI Slot Installation Guide (for Windows XP)”,

The illustration shows how jumpers are
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1
and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is
placed on these 2 pins.
Jumper Setting Description
PS2_USB_PWR1 Short pin2, pin3 to enable
(see p.11 No. 1) +5VSB (standby) for PS/2
or USB wake up events.
Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by
power supply.
