Q:Does my operating system support AGP?

A:Currently, only Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 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:Will my motherboard run a PII/Celeron/Mendicino CPU?

A:Yes, the BIOS version 1.07 supports Celeron 266-300MHz and the BIOS version 1.12 supports the Celeron-A (Mendocino) 300-333MHz.

Q:Can I run dual Celeron/Mendocino CPU´s on this motherboard?

A:No, both Celeron and Mendocino CPU's are not designed to function in dual CPU mode even on a dual slot motherboard.

Q:My system will not turn off - why?

A:The power button is designed to turn off the system ONLY when you press/hold the power button for more than 5 seconds. BIOS version 1.12 will provide an option for instant power-off .

Q:When I clear the BIOS with the jumper, it does not clear - why?

A:In most cases, BIOS can be cleared by inserting jumper JP3 to the 2-3 position. In some cases, certain brands of power supply need to be UN- PLUGGED from a power source in order to clear the BIOS using jumper JP3.

Q:I´m getting a "motherboard resource conflict" - seen in Win95/98 Device Manager as a yellow Exclamation Mark image. How do I clear it up?

A:More than likely, you have BIOS version 1.03. You need to install BIOS version 1.07 to resolve this problem.

Q:My Wake-On LAN network burned out my power supply. What should I do?

A:You need to use a power supply with 800ma at +5VSB power line. This is because most Wake-On LAN network cards require +5V 750 mA in sleep mode. We recommend our customer to purchase the ATX power supply with mini- mum 800 mA at +5V SB output to avoid over-current damage to the power supply.

Q:How can I disable the keyboard detection in the BIOS v.1.12?

A:You need to enable the Quick Boot option in CMOS - then the BIOS will not check for a keyboard.
