CAUTION! 1. According to SiS official document, SiS 746FX and SiS 748 chipsets have limitation as below: SiS 746FX: CPU at FSB 200MHz mode, it will not support DDR400; CPU at FSB 333MHz mode, it will not support DDR200. SiS 748: CPU at FSB 200MHz mode, it will not support DDR400; CPU at FSB 333MHz mode, it will not support DDR200; CPU at FSB 400MHz mode, it will not support DDR200 / DDR266 2. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly before you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. 3. Do NOT insert a 3.3V AGP card into the AGP slot of K7S8X or K7S8XE motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! 4. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ME/2000. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx 5. Although K7S8X / K7S8XE offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of K7S8X / K7S8XE is set to perform over clocking, other clocks, such as PCI clock, AGP clock, and Memory clock will also be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. 6
