When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following
notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has
"AGP 4X(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP
card is AGP 4X(1.5V).
Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by Intel
®
845(GE/PE) /
845(E/G) / 850(E). You might experience system unable to boot up
normally. Please insert an AGP 4X(1.5V) card
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 car d is
2X(3.3V).
The GA-8PEMT4 (or any AGP 4X only ) motherboards might not function
properly, if you install this car d without switching the jumper to 4X( 1.5)
mode in it.
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( 3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot,
but they support 2X(3.3V) only. The GA-8PEMT4 (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards might not function properly, If you install this card in it.
Note : Although Gigaby te's AG32S(G) graphics car d is based on
ATi R age 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance
with AGP 4X(1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S (G)will work
fine with Intel
845(GE/PE) /845(E/G) / 850(E) based motherboards.
