CAUTION! 1. This motherboard supports FSB800-CPU. If you plan to adopt CoreTM 2 Duo CPU on this motherboard, you can only adopt Conroe 800 E4XXX processors. 2. About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 28. 3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Un- tied Overclocking Technology" on page 23 for details. 4. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 17 for proper installation. 5. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its corresponding CPU FSB frequency. CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency 800 DDR266, DDR333*, DDR400 533 DDR266, DDR333 * When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module. 6. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. 7. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. 8. The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] slot is a special design that only supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For the information of the compatible AGP VGA cards, please refer to the "Supported AGP VGA Cards List" on page 9 and page 10. For the proper installation of AGP VGA card, please refer to the installation guide on page 18. 9. Because the installed AMR card will occupy the same external connecting position with the PCI card that are installed in "PCI3" slot, you will not be able to install any PCI card in "PCI3" slot if an AMR card has already been installed in the AMR slot. 10. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME.
