Hardware Installation

NOTE: “Out Of Memory” Error Message

If you have installed more than 512 MB of RAM and are running Microsoft Windows Mil- lennium Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95 you may ex- perience memory problems. Two symptoms of these problems are being unable to run an MS-DOS session while you are running Windows or the computer may stop respond- ing while Windows is starting.

There are three possible solutions to this problem:

1)Reduce the amount of memory Vcache uses to 512 MB or less by altering the Max- FileCache setting in the System.ini file.

2)Use the System Configuration Utility to reduce the amount of memory Windows uses to 512 MB or less.

3)Reduce the memory installed on your computer to 512 MB or less.

This problem can also occur if an Advanced Graphic Port (AGP) video adapter is used.

2.4.3. PCI Slots

The mainboard comes with six PCI slots. They are located on the left-hand side of the board. Both PCI and PCI expansion cards may require IRQ’s. This mainboard complies with Plug and Play (PnP) specifications. Whenever a PnP compliant card is added the system will automatically be configured and the IRQ’s will be assigned automatically.
