Most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win 9X/ME. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website. Note (Note 1) Due to Windows 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) To use the onboard D-Sub port, you must install an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. (Note 3) To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module & enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver. (Note 4) Whether the CPU fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU cooler you install. (Note 5) Available functions in Easy Tune may differ by motherboard model
