Question: Which Operating System (OS) supports AGP?
Answer: At present Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 are the only
OS that will have built-in support for AGP. Some AGP video adapt-
ers can run Windows 95 OSR2.1 with special drivers. Please con-
tact your graphics adapter vendor for more details.
Question: Do I need the compact disk that came with your
motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and
programs that greatly enhance your system. We recommend that
you review the compact disc and use what you desire. Some of the
items packaged on the compact disc are PCI IDE Bus Master driv-
ers for Windows 95 and Windows NT, 440LX chipset drivers for
W indows 95, and Super Doctor Monitoring software.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled by the BIOS.
When this feature is enabled in the BIOS, the motherboard will have
instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the sys-
tem. When this feature is disabled or when the BIOS is not in
control, such as during memory count, the momentary on/off switch
must be held for five seconds before the system will shut down.
These changes were necessary to implement ACPI features on the
motherboard.
Question: I see a few of my PCI devices sharing IRQs. The
system seems to be fine, but is this acceptable?
Answer: Some PCI Bus Mastering devices can share IRQs without
performance penalties. These devices are designed to work cor-
rectly sharing IRQs.
