CAUTION! 1. 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 ther mal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. 2. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on K7VM3's AGP slot! It may cause permanent damage! 3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx 4. Although K7VM3 offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of K7VM3 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
