Note: Unless otherwise specified, validation testing is performed using the system/motherboard default settings.

| • | This motherboard requires you to install Matrox RT.X in a 64-bit, 66-MHz slot. For more information on slot ordering conventions, see Expansion slot numbering at Matrox. | | • | Using the onboard sound device will cause erratic behavior. Please use one of the tested and validated sound cards instead. |
