processing power of the discrete GPU is not required and use the motherboard
GPU for non intensive graphics applications. Switching off the discrete GPU not
only lowers the total system power consumption for everyday computing tasks like
browsing the Web, word processing, or watching HD videos but also lowers total
system noise.

Dual Monitor Feature
This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal dual VGA output
support (DVI-D and D-Sub), you can easily enjoy the benefits of dual monitor feature
without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. This motherboard also
provides independent display controllers for DVI-D and D-Sub to support dual VGA
output so that DVI-D and D-sub can drive same or different display contents. To enable
dual monitor feature, please follow the below steps:
1. Connect the DVI-D monitor cable to the VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel of this
motherboard. Connect the D-Sub monitor cable to the VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O
panel of this motherboard.
2. If you have installed onboard VGA driver from our support CD to your system
already, you can freely enjoy the benefits of dual monitor function provided by
VGA/DVI-D and VGA/D-Sub ports with this motherboard after your system
boots. If you haven’t installed onboard VGA driver yet, please install onboard
VGA driver from our support CD to your system and restart your computer.
Then you can start to use dual monitor function provided by VGA/DVI-D and
VGA/D-Sub ports with this motherboard.
1. When you playback HDCP-protected video from Blu-ray (BD) or
HD-DVD disc, the content will be displayed only in one of the two
monitors instead of both monitors.
2. This motherboard does not support dual monitor feature under DOS
because in this situation, the VGA/DVI-D output is not available. There
is no such limitation under Windows
®
OS.

Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal dual VGA
output support (DVI-D and D-Sub) and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you
can easily enjoy the benefits of surround display feature. Please refer to the following
steps to set up a surround display environment:
1. Install the NVIDIA
®
PCI Express VGA card to PCI Express slot. Please refer to
page 14 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect the DVI-D monitor cable to the VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel of this

panel of this motherboard. And connect the other monitor cables to the correspond-
ing connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2 slot.
3. Boot your system. Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup. Enter “Share Memory”
option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB], [256MB] or
[512MB] to enable the function of VGA/D-sub. Please make sure that the value
you select is less than the total capability of the system memory. If you do not
adjust the BIOS setup, the default value of “Share Memory”, [Auto], will disable
VGA/D-Sub function when the add-on VGA card is inserted to this
motherboard.
4. Install the onboard VGA driver and the add-on PCI Express VGA card driver to
your system. If you have installed the onboard VGA driver and the add-on PCI
