2.3.3. PCI Slots
These boards come with three PCI slots. They are located on the left hand side of the board.
Both PCI and PCI expansion cards may require IRQ’s. This mainboard complies with Plug and
Play (PnP) specifications. Whenever a PnP compliant card is added the system will automati-
cally be configured and the IRQ’s will be assigned automatically.
When you are inserting your PCI card make sure that the pins are correctly aligned. When the
pins are properly aligned with the hole’s in the slot, push down gently.

Error Message
If you have installed more than 512 MB of RAM and are running Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, Windows
98 Second Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95 you may experience memory problems. Two symptoms of these
problems are being unable to run an MS-DOS session while you are running Windows or the computer may stop
responding while Windows is starting.
There are three possible solutions to this problem:
1)
Reduce the amount of memory Vcache uses to 512 MB or less by altering the MaxFileCache setting in the
System.ini file.
2)
Use the System Configuration Utility to reduce the amount of memory Windows uses to 512 MB or less.
3)
Reduce the memory installed on your computer to 512 MB or less.
This problem can also occur if you are using an Advanced Graphic Port (AGP) video adapter.
