Operating System Requirements

IMPORTANT The ASUS AGP-V3400TNT Series graphics card requires its own
IRQ to work normally. If you have problems during installation, check your BIOS
setting or motherboard jumpers to make sure that "VGA INT/IRQ" has been enabled.

Windows 95

To take advantage of all the AGP features, you must use Windows 95 OSR2.0, in-
stall the USB upgrade and then install the GART driver for the corresponding chipset
on your motherboard. (see III. Windows 95/98 Install GART Driver).
To install Win95 OSR2.0 with USB, you must have OSR2.0 installed already. Oth-
erwise, first install OSR2.0 and then use the USB support update (you must use the
same update language of your Windows language). On the April 1997 MSDN Disc-
1 "Windows 95, SDKs, and Tools", OSR2.0 is found in "\OSR2" while the USB
support update is found in "\OSR2\USBSUPP". To determine the installed version
of the operating system, look in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber
OSR2.0 with USB has:
Version "Windows 95" and VersionNumber "4.03.1212" or "4.03.1214".

Windows 98

Only Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are not using
Windows 98 and you want to use full Direct3D and AGP features, you must upgrade
Windows before installing the AGP display driver.
Windows 98 includes GART drivers for the major chipsets but it is recommended
that you install the GART driver from the AGP-V3400TNT Series installation CD
disc to make sure that you have the latest version of the GART driver.
