First Time Installation
When you start Windows for the first time after the installation of your motherboard,
Windows 95/98 will detect the onboard video chip (either ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 2X
or ATI 3D Rage IIC AGP, depending on your motherboard) and may attempt to
install a driver from its system registry. When prompted to restart, select No. Then
follow the normal installation procedure later in this section.
IMPORTANT: Selecting No for the initial restart prompt is a necessary step be-
cause Windows may load an older display driver that is incompatible with the onboard
ATI 3D Rage chip. Always use the driver available on the ASUS Support CD or an
applicable driver update from your ASUS vendor or from the ASUS web site.
Operating Systems
You should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new
hardware in order to ensure full compliancy. For Windows 95, you must use OSR
2.0 or later. For Windows NT 4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.
