English

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully understood and

practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) notch" (show below), please make sure your

AGP card is AGP 4X/8X(1.5V).

AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by nVIDIA

nForce

™

3 150 chipset. You might experience

system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) card.

Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of

AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X(1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine

with nVIDIA

nForce

™

3 150 based motherboards.

Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from PCI slots if there is one.
