ASUS AGP-V3100 Series User’s Manual
Operating System Requirements
NOTE: The AGP-V3100 Series graphics cards require a motherboard with an AGP slot.
Windows 95 OSR2.0
Windows 95 OSR2.0 support AGP cards, but to take advantage of all the AGP fea-
tures, you must use Windows 95 OSR2.0 and install the USB upgrade and then
install the VGARTD driver for the corresponding chipset on your motherboard. (see
III. Windows 95/98 Install VGARTD).
To install Win95 OSR2.0 with USB, you must have OSR2.0 installed already. Oth-
erwise, first install OSR2.0 and then use the USB support update (you must use the
same update language of your Windows language). On the April 1997 MSDN Disc-
1 “Windows 95, SDKs, and Tools”, OSR2.0 is found in “\OSR2” while the USB
support update is found in “\OSR2\USBSUPP”. To determine the installed version
of the operating system, look in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber
OSR2.0 with USB has:
Version “Windows 95” and VersionNumber “4.03.1212” or “4.03.1214”.
Windows 98
Only Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are not using
Windows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D and AGP features,
you must upgrade your current Windows to Windows 98 before installing the AGP
display driver.
Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recommended that
you install VGARTD from the AGP-V3100 Series CD to make sure that you have
the latest version of VGARTD.

Requirements
This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that MS Windows
resides in
C:\WINDOWS
. Replace either with the actual location, if necessary.
IMPORTANT!
The ASUS AGP-V3100 series requires its own IRQ to work nor-
mally. If you have problems during installation, please check your BIOS setting
or motherboard jumpers to make sure that “VGA INT/IRQ” has been enabled.
