When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice

is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X

(1.5V) notch" (show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP

4X/8X(1.5V).

Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by SiS

661FX. You might

experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP

4X/8X 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-8S661FXM Series (or any AGP 4X/8X 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-8S661FXM Series (or any AGP 4X/8X 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 SiS

661FX based

motherboards.

Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to t he following warning: 1. Please use Intel approved co oling fan. 2. We recommend you to app ly the thermal tape to pro vide b etter heat conduction between you r CPU and cooling fan. (The C PU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the harden ing of the thermal paste. During t his condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling f an, and might damage the processo r.
