When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following
notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has
"AGP 4X notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is
AGP 4X (1.5V).
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn
and damage the motherboard due to Intel
chipset can't support AGP 2X(3.3V).
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/
4X mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or
4X (1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card
is 2X (3.3V). If you install this card in GA-8IEML-T(-C) (or any AGP 4X
only) motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it
will burn the motherboard.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power
Color", the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their
golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but they support
2X(3.3V) only. If you install this card in GA-8IEML-T(-C) (or any AGP 4X
only) motherboards, it will burn the motherboard.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X (1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with Intel
/ 850(E) based motherboards.

Beware: Please do not turn off the system while you are upgrading BIOS. It will render your BIOS corrupted and system totally inoperative.
- Page 77 STEP 6: Load BIOS defaults. Normally the system redetects all devices after BIOS has been upgraded. Therefore, we highly recommend reloading the BIOS defaults after BIOS has been upgraded. This important step resets everything after the flash. (1) Take out the floppy diskette from floppy drive, and then restart the system. The boot up screen will indicate your motherboard model and current BIOS version.
