If you set "Configure SATA as" to [AHCI] mode, and plan to install Windows® 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit OS on a SATA hard disk, you have to make a SATA driver diskette. Please refer to step 2 on page 37 for details. (If you select AHCI mode and plan to install Windows® VistaTM on a SATA hard disk, you don't need to make a SATA driver diskette.) But if you choose [IDE] mode, please ignore this step. STEP 3: Install Windows® 2000 / Windows® XP / Windows® XP 64-bit OS on your system. After making a SATA driver diskette, you can start to install Windows® 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit on your system. At the beginning of Windows® setup, press F6 to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver. When prompted, insert a floppy disk containing the Intel RAID driver. After reading the floppy disk, the driver will be presented. Select the driver to install according to the mode you choose and the OS you install. You may select: "Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R-Windows XP/2000)" for Windows® XP/2000 or "Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R-Windows XP64)" for Windows® XP 64-bit. 2.19 Untied Overclocking Technology This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI bus. You may set "CPU Host Frequency" option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you the actual CPU host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking, but PCI bus is in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment. 40
