WhenyouinstallingAGPcard,pleasemakesure thefollowingnotice isfullyunderstood and

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

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

AGP2X(3.3V) card is notsupportedby nVIDIA®nForce™3150 chipset. Youmight experience

systemunable tobootup normally.Pleaseinsert anAGP4X/8X(1.5V)card.

AlthoughGigabyte'sAG32S(G)graphicscardisbased onATiRage 128Pro chip,thedesignof

AG32S(G)is compliance withAGP4X(1.5V)specification.Therefore,AG32S(G)will work fine

with nVIDIA®nForce™3150 basedmotherboards.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.

We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification because

thesespecificbusfrequenciesarenotthestandardspecificationsforCPU,chipset and most of the

peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will

depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, SDRAM, Cards…etc.
