Gigabyte GA-8I865P User manual

Whenyou installing AGPcard,please make surethefollowing
notice isfullyunderstood and practiced.IfyourAGPcardhas
"AGP4X/8X(1.5V)notch"(showbelow),please make sureyour
AGPcardisAGP4X/8X(1.5V).
Caution:AGP2XcardisnotsupportedbyIntel®845(GE/PE)/845(E/
G)/850(E)/E7205 /865(G/PE/PL/P)/875P/848P.You might
experiencesystemunabletobootup normally.Please insertanAGP
4X/8Xcard.
Example1:Diamond VipperV770 golden fingeriscompatiblewith2X/4X
mode AGPslot. It can be switched between AGP2X(3.3V)or4X(1.5V)
mode byadjusting the jumper.The factorydefaultforthiscardis
2X(3.3V).The GA-8I865P(-G)(oranyAGP4X/8Xonly)motherboards
mightnotfunction properly,ifyou install thiscardwithoutswitching the
jumperto4X(1.5V)mode init.
Example2:SomeATiRage 128 Prographics cardsmade by"PowerColor",
the graphics cardmanufacturer&someSiS305 cards,theirgolden finger
iscompatiblewith2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V)mode AGPslot, buttheysupport2X
(3.3V)only.The GA-8I865P(-G)(oranyAGP4X/8Xonly)motherboards
mightnotfunction properly,If you install thiscardinit.
Note:Although Gigabyte'sAG32S(G)graphics cardisbased on ATiRage
128 Prochip,the design ofAG32S(G)iscompliancewithAGP4X(1.5V)
specification.Therefore,AG32S(G)will workfine withIntel®845(GE/PE)/
845(E/G)/850(E)/E7205 /865(G/PE/PL/P)/875P/848Pbased
motherboards.

Due tochipset(Intel865P)architecturelimitation,aFSB 533 Pentium4processorwill support
DDR333 and DDR266 memorymodule.AFSB 400 Pentium4processorwill onlysupportDDR
266memorymodule.
(Note1)AnFSB800 CPUcan be supported through overclocking inBIOS.
(Note2)When FSB800 isselected asCPUfrequency,memorywill automaticallyadjusttoDDR400.
(Note3)Due tostandardPCarchitecture,acertainamountofmemoryisreserved forsystem
usage and thereforethe actualmemorysizeisless than the stated amount.
Forexample,4GBofmemorysizewill instead be shownas3.xxGBmemoryduring
systemstartup.
