CAUTION!
1. This motherboard supports FSB800-CPU. If you plan to adopt CoreTM 2
Duo CPU on this motherboard, you can only adopt Conroe 800 E4XXX
processors.
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 30.
3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 26 for details.
4. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,
6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 12 for
proper connection.
9. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII
Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 25 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to
SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector
directly.
10. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows®
VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.
