Please insert an AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) card AGP 4X/8X notc h Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X modeAGP slot. Itcan be switched betweenAGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X (1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The GA-7VA(or anyAGP4Xonly)motherboards mightnotfunction properly, ifyou installthiscardwithoutswitchingthe jumper to4X(1.5) mode in it. Example 2:SomeATiRage128 Prographicscardsmadeby “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 support2X(3.3V)only.TheGA-7VA(orany AGP 4Xonly) motherboardsmightnotfunctionproperly, Ifyou installthis card in it. Note :Although Gigabyte'sAG32S(G)graphicscard isbasedon ATiRage128 Prochip,thedesignofAG32S(G) iscompliance with AGP 4X(1.5V) specification. Therefore,AG32S (G)will work fine with VIA® KT400 based motherboards. • The author assumes no responsibility for any errors or omissions that may appear in this document nor does the author make a commitment to update the information contained herein. • Third-party brands and names are the property of their respective owners. • Please do not remove any labels on motherboard, thismay void the warranty of this motherboard. • Due to rapid change in technology, some of the specifications might be out of date before publication of this booklet.
