problem.
Q: Can I use EDO DIMMs on this motherboard?
A: No. The Intel 440BX/GX AGPset does not support EDO memory.
Q: What is AGP?
A: AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a new bus architecture for 3D graphics.
The AGP slot eliminates the PCI bandwidth bottleneck by bypassing the PCI
interface and accessing the system memory directly. Currently, the AGP
supports 1X and 2X modes, which yield bandwidths of 266MB/s (at 33MHz
bus speed) and 533MB/s (at 66MHz bus speed), respectively. Compare this
with the mere 132MB/s (at 33MHz bus speed) that you get from the PCI bus.
Q: Does my operating system support AGP?
A: Currently, only Windows 98 and Windows 2000 will have built-in support
for AGP. Some AGP cards require Windows 95 OSR2.1 or a special driver from
Intel. Please check with your graphics vendor for more details.
Q: How do I install the onboard NIC drivers for WinNT 4.0?
A: The Ethernet driver can not be installed directly from the Tyan Driver CD.
Before installing the Intel 82559 Ethernet drivers, the complete 82559 directory
and ALL its components must first be copied from the Tyan CD onto your hard
drive. The 82559 installation program can then be copied normally from your
hard drive.
Q: How can I disable the keyboard detection in the BIOS?
A: You need to enable the Quick Boot option in CMOS - then the BIOS will not
check for a keyboard.
Q: I cannot install Windows NT when I use an LS/120-type floppy disk drive.
What should I do?
A: SYMPTOM - When you are trying to install Windows NT, you may
experience any of the following symptoms:
1) When you boot from the installation disks, the following error message
may be displayed when disk 2 is inserted:
Stop 0x0000007B Inaccessible Boot Device
