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).
The GA-8S648FXM (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not func-
tion properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to
4X(1.5) mode in it.
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(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support
2X(3.3V) only. The GA-8S648FXM (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards
might not function properly, If you install this card in it.
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 SiS
