reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If this equipment is not installed and
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
wReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
wIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
wConnect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
wConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The use of shielded cables for connection of the monitor to the graphics card is required to
assure compliance with FCC regulations. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications Statement
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for audio noise emissions from
digital apparatusses set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.

Hardware Installation 5
Note: 1. Refer to the table above to choose the correct
voltage for the CPU everytime that you install a
CPU.
2. Make sure that your JP3 is matched with the
CPU voltage, otherwise will damage the CPU or
make the system unstable.
3. When the new CPU is announced and is not
listed on this manual, please refer to the above
table, select the correct voltage setting for it.
AGP Driver for Win95 Installation
Requirement
¥ Microsoft Windows95OSR2.1 (OSR2.0 with USB upgrade)
¥ Apollo MVP3 AGP VxD Driver
¥ AGP VGA Card with Driver
¥ DirectX 5.0 (or higher) DDK or SDK
Installation Procedure
Step1 Go to the next step if you are running
Win95OSR2.0/2.1, and if not, install Windows95
4.00.950B or later version
Step2 Install USBSUPP.EXE program (USB upgrade)
Step3 Install Microsoft DirectX 5.0 (or higher) DDK or
SDK
Step4 Install AGP driver for Windows95
Step5 Install Apollo MVP3 AGP VxD Driver, run
ÒSETUP.EXEÓ program
To make sure if the Apollo MVP3 AGP driver is properly
installed, boot up the system and run the ÒRegeditÓ to check
if the following path with VIAGARTD exists:
6
ÒHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\VxDÓ.
Follow the below procedure to check if the AGP driver is
capable to activate:
1. Activate ÒControl Panel,Ó
2. Click ÒDirectX,Ó
3. Click ÒDirectDraw,Ó and
4. Check if there are some values in ÒBitÓ and ÒOverlays.Ó
If there are some values, the AGP is able to activate.

Note: 1. JP1 and JP6 are used to set the SDRAM clock
the same as the AGP clock (66MHz), however
in the 100MHz Bus Clock environment, make
sure that the SDRAM is compliant with PC-100
spec., otherwise JP1 and JP6 should be set
as above.
2. K6 2-266 setting is the same as K6-266.
3. Only the new model clock generator (e.g.,
Winbond W83194R-37, ICS 9148AF-58,
PhaseLink PLL52C66-29), supports 95MHz,
please check with your dealer before using

System Memory Configuration
This Apollo MVP3 motherboard supports 72-pin SIMMs and
168pin DIMMs (3.3V unbuffered type) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB,
or 32MB to form a memory size between 4MB to 1GB (total
of 6 rows are supported).
The Apollo MVP3 chipset supports ÒTable FreeÓ
configuration so that DRAM module can be installed at any
capacity.
Note: 1. Do not recommend to mix EDO and SDRAM
together for the system stability.
2. For 100MHz CPU environment, the SDRAM must
compliant PC-100 specification, otherwise the
system maybe unstable.
