If you cannot find the information that you need in this appendix, visit our WWW home page, (address: http://www. aopen. com. tw) and check the FAQ area and other new information. Q: How can I identify the mainboard BIOS version?A: The AOpen mainboard BIOS version appears on the upper-left corner of the POST (Power-On Self Test) screen. Normally, it starts with R and is found in between the model name and the date. [. . . ] The Lan Wake Up enabled adapter in the client will receive that frame can check it to determine whether the frame contains the correct MAC address. If so, the client turns on the system by Wake-up call, just as the user turns on the system manually with the ON/OFF button. The network management software will continue to perform the tasks that have been programmed to do. Q: What is the AGP (Accelerated Graphic Port)?A: AGP is a PCI-like bus interface targeted for high-performance 3D graphic. AGP supports only memory read/write operation and single-master singleslave one-to-one only. The AGP uses both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock and produces 66MHz x 4byte x 2 = 528MB/s data transfer rate. Q: What is the AGP bus clock on Intel 440BX chipset?A: AGP used to perform as the same bus clock as the Intel 440LX chipset were. If we provide 75Mzh of bus clock to 440LX chipset, AGP will also perform with 75Mhz of clock. The Intel 440BX chipset which supports 100Mhz of bus clock behaves to meet the specification so that AGP bus clock is always kept by 66Mhz of clock no matter how 440BX chipset bus clock may be set. In this manner, it will ensure the compatibility & stability of the AGP within defined specification. A-5 Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why is there a resource conflict between my AGP VGA card & PCI-to-PCI bridge (or AGP bridge) within Device Manger under Windows'95?A: It is normal for AGP cards to conflict with the PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge (or AGP bridge). Since Windows'95 does not inherently support AGP technology, it reports this conflict incorrectly. This conflict will not adversely affect the performance of your system. Attempting to resolve it will result in improper operation of the PC. This issue is expected to be fixed by Microsoft when Windows 98 released. Q: Does Pentium, Pentium Pro or Pentium II support Deturbo mode?A: The Deturbo mode was originally designed to slow down CPU speed for old applications (especially old games). It uses programming loop to wait or delay special event. This programming method is considered very bad since the delay of loop highly depends on the CPU speed and the application fails at high-speed CPU. Almost all new applications (including games) use RTC or interrupt to wait event. [. . . ] A: This is the Hardware Monitoring Utility software (AOHW100) developed by AOpen which monitors the status of system voltage, thermal, & fan. Instead of using ADM or LDCM which supports network administration, AOHW100 is especially designed for personal user. You may install it on your AOpen mainboard based system which comes with Hardware Monitoring features. Q: What is ADM (Advanced Desktop Manager)? [. . . ]
