                    (Note 1) Due to Windows 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) For optimum performance, if only one PCI 
						Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to 
						install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
                     
                    (Note 3) W hether the CPU/system fan speed control 
						function is supported will depend on the CPU/system 
						cooler you install.
                     
                    (Note 4) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by 
						motherboard model.
