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 card is
2X(3.3V).
The GA-8PE800 Ultra / GA-8PE800 Pro(-R) (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-8PE800 Ultra / GA-8PE800 Pro(-R)
(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 72: Bios Flash Procedure
BIOS Flash Procedure Method 1: We use GA-7VTX motherboard and Flash841 BIOS flash utility as example. Please flash the BIOS according to the following procedures if you are now under the DOS mode. Flash BIOS Procedure: STEP 1: (1) Please make sure your system has installed the extraction utility such as winzip or pkunzip. Firstly you have to install the extraction utility such as winzip or pkunzip for unzip the files. - Page 73 (2) Select the "Quick (erase)" for Format Type, and pick both "Display summary when finished" and "Copy system files", after that press "Start". That will format the floppy and transfer the needed system files to it. Beware: This procedure will erase all the prior data on that floppy, so please proceed accordingly.
- Page 74 STEP 3: Download BIOS and BIOS utility program. (1) Please go to Gigabyte website http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/index.html, and click "Support". (2) From Support zone, click the "Motherboards BIOS & Drivers". GA-8PE800 Ultra /Pro(-R) Motherboard - 70 -...
- Page 75 (3) We use GA-7VTX motherboard as example. Please select GA-7VTX by Model or Chipset optional menu to obtain BIOS flash files. (4) Select an appropriate BIOS version (For example: F4), and click to download the file. It will pop up a file download screen, then select the "Open this file from its current location" and press "OK".
- Page 76 (5) At this time the screen shows the following picture, please click "Extract" button to unzip the files. (6) Please extract the download files into the clean bootable floppy disk A mentioned in STEP 2, and press "Extract". GA-8PE800 Ultra /Pro(-R) Motherboard - 72 -...
- Page 77 STEP 4: Make sure the system will boot from the floppy disk. (1) Insert the floppy disk (contains bootable program and unzip file) into the floppy drive A. Then, restart the system. The system will boot from the floppy disk. Please press <DEL> key to enter BIOS setup main menu when system is boot up.
- Page 78 (3) Press "Enter" to enter "BIOS FEATURES SETUP" menu. Use the arrows to highlight the item "1st Boot Device", and then use the "Page Up" or "Page Down" keys to select "Floppy".

- Page 80 (3) It will pop up a screen and asks "Are you sure to flash the BIOS?" Press [Enter] to continue theprocedure, or press [ESC] to quit. Beware: Please do not turn off the system while you are upgrading BIOS. It will render your BIOS corrupted and system totally inoperative.
- Page 81 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.

- 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.

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.
