English DDR Introduction Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high performance and cost-effective solution thatallows easy adoption formemoryvendors, OEMs and system integrators. DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry tha t builds on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from existing SDRAM designs d ue to its availability, pricing and o verall ma rket suppo rt. PC210 0 DDR memory (DDR266)doubles the datarate through reading and writing atboth the rising and falling edge of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock frequency.With peak bandwidth of2.664GBpersecond, DDR memoryenables system OEMs to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, highen d PC's a nd valu e de sktop SMA systems. With a core vo lta ge o f on ly 2.5 Volts compa red to conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops and notebook applications. Step 3: Install expansion cards 1. Read the related expansion card's instruction documentbefore installthe expansion card into the computer. 2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, necessaryscrews and slotbracketfrom the computer. 3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slotin motherboard. 4. Be sure the metalcontacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot. 5. Replace the screw to secure the slotbracketofthe expansion card. 6. Replace your computer's chassis cover. 7. Power on the computer, ifnecessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS. 8. Install related driver from the operating system. AGP Card Please carefully pull out the small whitedrawable bar atthe end of the AGP slotwhen you try to install/ Uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to the onboard AGP slot and press firmly down on the slot . Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small white- drawable bar. GA-8SG800/GA-8S648FX M otherboard - 12 -

English
Step 3: Install expansion cards
1.
Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before installthe expansion card into
the computer.
2.
Remove your computer's chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer.
3.
Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.
4.
Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.
5.
Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
6.
Replace your computer's chassis cover.
7.
Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.
8.
Install related driver from the operating system.
AGP Card
Please carefully pull out the small white-
drawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when
you try to install/ Uninstall the AGP card.
Please align the AGP card to the onboard
AGP slot and press firmly down on the slot .
Make sure your AGP card is locked by the
small white- drawable bar.
Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a
high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and
system integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by
doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from
existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR
memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of
the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock
frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.664GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build
high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, high-
end PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to
conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops
and notebook applications.
