Page: 1 / 96

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following
notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP
4X notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X
(1.5V).
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and
damage the motherboard due to Intel
®
845(E/G) / 850(E) chipset
can't support AGP 2X(3.3V).
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X
mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X (1.5V)
mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X (3.3V).
If you install this card in GA-8ID2003 Series (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it will burn the
motherboard.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power Color",
the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their golden finger is
compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but they support 2X(3.3V) only. If you
install this card in GA-8ID2003 Series (or any AGP 4X only) motherboards,
it will burn the motherboard.
Note : 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 Intel
® 845(E/G) /
850(E) based motherboards.
