NOTE: The onboard audio shares REQ5 and GNT5 with PCI slot 5. Therefore,
if the onboard audio is enabled, bus master cards cannot be used on PCI slot 5.

3. VIO Setting (DIP6)

The onboard voltage regulator allows you to select the voltage supplied to the
DRAM, chipset, AGP, and the CPU’s I/O buffer.

IMPORTANT!

Setting this

jumper to Add 0.1 Volt may cause your system to become unstable. It is strongly
recommended that you leave this jumper on its default setting of Normal (3.5V).
