Dual Channel DDR  
GA-8IP775 series supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the  
bandwidth ofMemory Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s.  
GA-8IP775 series includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:  
Channel A: DDR 1, DDR 2  
Channel B : DDR 3, DDR 4  
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due  
to the lim itation of Intel chipset specifications.  
1. One/three DDR memory module is installed: The Dual Channel Technology can'toperate  
when only one DDR memory module is installed.  
2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory sizeand type): The Dual  
Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into  
Channel Aand B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel  
Technology will notoperate.  
3. Four DDR memory modules are installed: Ifyou install four memory modules at the same  
time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same  
memory size and type.  
We'll strongly recommend our user to slottwo DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same color in  
order for Dual Channel Technology to work.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup  
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure  
required settings or to activate certain system features.  
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.  
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS  
SRAM.  
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will  
take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1".  
When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the  
event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either  
Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.  
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system.  
@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but  
directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem.  
Question 5: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?

change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.  
Question 6: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card?
