ASUS AGP-V2740 Series User’s Manual
Operating System Requirements
NOTE: The AGP-V2740 Series requires a Pentium II motherboard with an AGP slot.
Windows 95 OSR2.0
Both Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2.0 support AGP cards, but to take advan-
tage of all the AGP features, you must use Windows 95 OSR2.0 and install the USB
upgrade and then install the VGARTD driver for the corresponding chipset on your
motherboard. (see III. Windows 95 OSR2.0 “Install VGARTD”).
To install Win95 OSR2.0 with USB, you must have OSR2.0 installed already. Oth-
erwise, first install OSR2.0 and then use the USB support update (you must use the
same update language of your Windows language). On the April 1997 MSDN Disc-
1 “Windows 95, SDKs, and Tools”, OSR2.0 is found in “\OSR2” while the USB
support update is found in “\OSR2\USBSUPP”. To determine the installed version
of the operating system, look in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber
OSR2.0 with USB has:
Version “Windows 95” and VersionNumber “4.03.1212” or “4.03.1214”.
Windows 98
Only Windows 98 Beta3 or later supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you
are not using Beta3 or later, you must upgrade your Windows before installing the
AGP display driver.
NOTE: Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recom-
mended that you install VGARTD from the AGP-V2740 Series CD to make sure
that you have the latest version of VGARTD.

Requirements
NOTE:
This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that MS
Windows is in “c:\windows”. Replace either with the actual location, if necessary.
IMPORTANT!
The ASUS AGP-V2740 series requires its own IRQ to work
normally. If you have problems during installation, please check your BIOS set-
ting or motherboard jumpers to make sure that “VGA IRQ” has been enabled.
