P5F97/P5F103 User’s Manual

4.4 AGP Driver

Q: Does P5F97/P5F103 have an AGP driver that supports Win NT4.0?
A:  

No because Win NT4.0 does not support AGP. AGP requires support for 

Direct X instructions and Microsoft will only add this support into Win 
NT5.0. An AGP card will still run on NT4.0 but only in 2D mode.

Q: Is my motherboard compatible with the Intel 740 graphics chipset?
A: 

Yes, the P5F97/P5F103 is compatible with the Intel 740 graphics chipset. In 

order to work with Intel 740 graphics chip, you need to install ALi AGP driver. 

It is recommend you to install the ALi AGP driver before install the VGA 
driver. 

It also suggest using the latest Intel 740 driver ver.1.5 or later. 

Q: How to install the ALi AGP Driver on P5F97/P5F103 motherboard?
A: 

There is a self-extracting file in the motherboard manufacture diskette at the 
AGP directory “

agpxx.exe

”. This file can help Windows95/98 to configure 

the AGP VGA chip correctly. 

It is recommend you to install the ALi AGP 

driver before install the VGA driver. 

The following procedure will help you 

to install the ALi AGP driver.

Most of the AGP VGA card requires the USB supplement install, so please 

make sure you install the USB supplement first. For USB supplement installa-
tion, please refer to Chapter 

4.3 USB Driver

Copy “agpxx.exe” into your hard disk and double click it. The ALi AGP 

installation screen will pop out, please follows the instruction shows on the 
screen to finished the installation. system will restart. 

After system back on then you are complete the installation of ALi AGP driver 

and ready to install the driver for AGP VGA card. A new version of the ALi 
AGP drive can be downloaded from the factory's BBS and Web site

4.5 ESS Audio Driver

There are two ESS audio driver diskettes include with the mainboard. 
DISK 1 is for ESS audio driver and Disk2 is for ESS Audio Rack 
driver.
