Whenyou installing AGPcard, please make surethe
following noticeis fully understood and practiced.Ifyour
AGPcard has"AGP4X notch"(showbelow), pleasemake
sure your AGP cardis AGP4X (1.5V).
Do notuse AGP2X card (3.3V)in thismotherboard. Itwill
burn and damage the motherboard due to Intel® 845 chipset
can'tsupport AGP2X(3.3V).
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). If you install this card in GA-8IDML series (or any AGP 4X
only) motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it
will burn the motherboard.
Example 2: ATi Rage 128 Pro (Power Color) & SiS 305 golden finger is
compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but it supports 2X(3.3V) only. If
you install this card in GA-8IDML series (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards, it will burn the motherboard.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S is compliance with AGP 4X (1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S will work fine with Intel 845 / 850 based
motherboards.

WARNING!
WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
power connector on the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis…
If themotherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of your hands). In this way you can still atach the motherboard to the base withoutworrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’tlet the screw contact
any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

@ BIOS Introduction
Gigabyte announces @ BIOS
Windows BIOS live update utility
Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like
many other people, you just know what BIOS is,
but always hesitate to update it? Because you think
updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually
you don’t know how to update it.
Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time
to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and
then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS.
The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source
code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your
time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte
announces @BIOS— the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update
software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS
update software, it’s a Windows utility. With the help of “@BIOS’, BIOS updating is no more than a
click.
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, @BIOS help
you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to
choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site
automatically. There are several different choices; you could use “Internet Update” to download and
update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose
“Save Current BIOS” to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update
your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and
manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard
industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please
remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your
Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy TuneIIITM Introduction
Gigabyte announces EasyTuneIII
Windows overdrive utility
“Overdrive” might be one of the most
common issues in computer field. But have many
users ever tried it? The answ er is probably “no”.
Because “overdrive” is thought to be very difficult and
includesa lotof technicalknow-how, sometimes “over-
drive” is even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.
But as to the experts in“overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot of timeand money
to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools to do “overdrive”. And even with these
technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a risk because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system
is unknown.
Now everything is different because of a Windows ov erdrive utility EasyTuneIII— announced by
Gigabyte. This utility has totally changed the gaming rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility
suitable for bothnormal and power users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode”
to run “overdrive” at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click
“Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU
speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If someone prefers to “overdrive” by
oneself, there is also another choice. Click “Advanced Mode” toenjoy “sport drive” class overclocking.
In “Advanced Mode”, onecan change the system bus speed in small increments to getultimate system
performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, EasyTuneIII helps to
perform the best of system.
Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTuneIII doesn’t require users to
change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper seting; on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at
only one click. Therefore, this is a safer way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or
hardware. If user runs EasyTuneIII over system’s limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the
computer again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed
been tested in Easy TuneIII, user can “Save” this bus speed and “Load” it in next time. Obviously,
Gigabyte EasyTuneIII has already turned the “overdrive” technology toward to a newer generation.
This wonderful softw are is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached driver C D. Users
may make a test drive of “EasyTuneIII” to find out more amazing features by themselves.
