                   (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) To support a DDR3 1866 MHz (and above) memory, you 
					must install an AMD AM3+ CPU first.
                    
                    
                   (Note 3) Whether 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.

                      Most hardware/software vendors may no longer offer 
						drivers to support Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers 
						are available from the vendors, we will update them on 
						the GIGABYTE website.
