WhenyouinstallingAGPcard,pleasemakesurethefollowing notice
isfullyunderstood and practiced.IfyourAGPcardhas "AGP4X/8X
(1.5V)notch"(showbelow),please make sureyourAGPcardisAGP
4X/8X(1.5V).
Caution:AGP2XcardisnotsupportedbySiS®661FX.You might
experience systemunabletobootup 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 thejumper.The factorydefaultforthiscardis2X(3.3V).
The GA-8S661FXMSeries(oranyAGP4X/8Xonly)motherboardsmight
notfunctionproperly,ifyouinstall thiscardwithoutswitchingthejumperto
4X(1.5)mode init.
Example2:SomeATiRage128Prographicscardsmadeby"PowerColor",
the graphics cardmanufacturer&someSiS305cards,theirgolden finger
iscompatiblewith2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V)mode AGPslot, buttheysupport
2X(3.3V)only.The GA-8S661FXMSeries(oranyAGP4X/8Xonly)
motherboardsmightnotfunctionproperly,Ifyouinstallthiscardinit.
Note:AlthoughGigabyte'sAG32S(G)graphicscardisbased onATiRage
128 Prochip,the design ofAG32S(G)iscompliancewithAGP4X(1.5V)
specification.Therefore,AG32S(G)will workfine withSiS®661FXbased
