NOTE: This graphics card requires a motherboard with an AGP slot.
Windows 98
Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are still using the beta
version of Windows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D and AGP
features, you must upgrade it to the release version before installing the AGP dis-
play driver.
Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recommended that
you install VGARTD from the ASUS AGP-V7700 Series CD to make sure that you
have the latest version of VGARTD (see III. Software Setup | Install GART Driver).
NOTES
• VGARTD stands for Virtual Graphics Address Remapping Table Driver, which
is necessary to use the DIME feature of AGP. DIME means Direct Memory
Execute, which is accessed directly by most AGP chips (when VGARTD is
installed) for complex texture-mapping operations.
• For other notes or release information, see the README files in the installa-
tion CD disc.
• This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that
Windows is in C:\WINDOWS. Replace either with the actual location, if
necessary.
