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 card is
2X(3.3V).
The GA-8PE667 Ultra2 / GA-8PE667 Pro(or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card 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-8PE667 Ultra2 / GA-8PE667 Pro
(or any AGP 4X only) motherboards might not function properly, If you
install this card in it.
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
845(GE/PE) /845(E/G) / 850(E) based motherboards.
®
Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS
label from PCI slots if there is one.

  • Page 86 DualBIOS Technology FAQ GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on this mainboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.
  • Page 87 I. Q: What is DualBIOS technology? Answer: DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS technology simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
  • Page 88 III. Q: How does DualBIOS technology work? Answer: DualBIOS technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment. DualBIOS provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible.
  • Page 89 utility may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS. 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up.
