[. . . ] When you installing AGP card, please make sure the follow ing notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X (1. 5V). Do not use AGP 2X card (3. 3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the motherboard due to Intel® 845 / Intel® 850 chipset can't support AGP 2X(3. 3V). Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/ 4X mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X (3. 3V) or 4X (1. 5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. [. . . ] Device like CD-ROM , walkman etc can be connected to Line-In jack.
