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. Please refer to the following steps to set up a multi
monitor environment:
1. Install the NVIDIA ® PCI Express VGA card to PCIE2 (PCIE x16 slot). Please refer
to page 15 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect the D-Sub monitor cable to the VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O panel of this
motherboard. Connect another D-Sub monitor cable to the VGA/D-Sub
connector of the add-on PCI Express VGA card. Connect the DVI-D monitor
cable to the VGA/DVI-D connector of the add-on PCI Express VGA card.
3. Boot your system. Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup. Enter “Share Memory”
option to adjust the memory capability to [16MB], [32MB], [64MB], [128MB] or

the value you select is less than the total capability of the system memory. If
you do not adjust the BIOS setup, the default value of “Share Memory”, [Auto],
