Question: Which Operating System (OS) supports AGP?
Answer: At present, Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 are the only OS
that have built-in support for AGP. Some AGP video adapters can run
Windows 95 OSR2.1 with special drivers. Please contact your graphics
adapter vendor for more details.
Question: Do I need the CD that came with your motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs
that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications included on the CD
are PCI IDE Bus Master drivers for Windows 95 and Windows NT, 440BX
chipset drivers for Windows 95, and Super Doctor Monitoring software.
Question: How do I install an onboard SCSI device controller for my
P6DBS/P6SBS motherboard?
Answer: First, install the 3 NT installation disks and then follow the
onscreen instructions to complete the procedure. "Safe mode" is best for
this installation.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled by the BIOS. When
this feature is enabled in the BIOS, the motherboard will have instant off
capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When this
feature is disabled or when the BIOS is not in control, such as during
memory count (the first screen that appears when the system is turned on),
the momentary on/off switch must be held for more than four seconds to
shut the system down. This feature is required to implement the ACPI
features.
Question: I see some of my PCI devices sharing IRQs, but the sys-
tem seems to be fine. Is this correct or not?
Answer: Some PCI Bus Mastering devices can share IRQs without perfor-
mance penalties. These devices are designed to work correctly while shar-
ing IRQs.
