1-2 Feature Summary

(Note 1) For further CPU support information, please go to GIGABYTE's website.

(Note 2) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage

and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 8 GB of

memory size will instead be shown as 7.xxGB memory during system startup.

(Note 3) DDR II memory can be overclocked to 888MHz (must be used with a 1066MHz FSB

processor) through overclocking in BIOS. Go to GIGABYTE's website for more information

about the supported DDR II memory modules for this feature.

(Note 4) To use a DDR II 667 memory module on the motherboard, you must install an 800/1066MHz

FSB processor.

(Note 5) Only supports ATAPI mode for HDD.
