Remark
Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME drivers available, we will publish on website.

Note
(Note 1) Due to Windows XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) Whether 1066 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used.
(Note 3) If you are installing a PCI Express graphics card, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot for optimum performance.
(Note 4) When the PCI Express x4 slot (PCIEX4_1) operate at up to x4 mode, the PCIEX1_2 and PCIEX1_3 slots become unavailable.
(Note 5) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
(Note 6) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.
(Note 7) Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model.
