2.5 Easy Multi Monitor Feature

This motherboard supports Multi Monitor upgrade. With the internal onboard VGA

and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits

of Multi Monitor feature. If you plan to enable the function of onboard VGA, please

enter the option “Share Memory” of BIOS to adjust the memory capability to

[32MB], [64MB], [128MB] or [256MB]. Please note that the value you select should

be less than the total capability of the system memory. The default value of “Share

Memory” is [Auto], which will disable onboard VGA function when installing VGA

card. After setting up BIOS, you can install VGA cards and VGA card drivers to

enjoy multi-monitors.
