P4X MAINBOARD SERIES
Page 15
Important: The DIMM’s can only be fitted into the slots in one orientation. Make
sure that the DIMM’s are in the correct orientation and the pins are correctly
aligned before you insert them.
2.4.3. PCI Slots
These boards come with six 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 automatically be configured and the IRQ’s will be as-
signed 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.
2.4.4. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
AGP is a dedicated bus slot. It operates at 66 MHz and transfers data at a rate
up to 1066 MB/s. This allows 3D applications to run more smoothly. The P4X2-A
mainboards each come with one AGP slot. This slot is able to support 1x, 2x and
4x AGP cards.
NOTE: “Out Of Memory”
Error Message
If you have installed more than 512 MB of RAM and are running Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, Win-
dows 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.
