unbuffered SDRAM as well. Double check with
the SDRAM supplier before install any
SDRAMs. The mainboard manufacturer has no
obligation to any damage of the board by using
the incorrect specification of SDRAM.
2. For 100MHz CPU environment, the SDRAM
must compliant PC-100MHz specification,
otherwise, the system maybe unstable.
*: To support WOL, the ATX Power Supply has to have
at least 5V/720mA standby current.

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 JP4 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 DDK (or higher) 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:

Hardware Installation 7
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.

System Memory Configuration
This Apollo MVP3 motherboard supports 168pin DIMMs
(3.3V unbuffered type) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB
to form a memory size between 4MB to 768MB (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: For 100MHz CPU environment, the SDRAM must
compliant PC-100MHz specification, otherwise the
system maybe unstable.
