Note
(Note 1) Due to Windows XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.

(Note 2) Whether 1066 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used.

(Note 3) Whether the CPU/ system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you installed.

(Note 4) Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model.

(Note 5) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install the AMD AM2+ Phenom™ series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver.
Remark
Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
Most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website.
