Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need to install a VGA card?
Do I also need to install a sound card?
The answer is NO to both questions above, since, for your
convenience, the SY-5SSM or SY-5SSM/5 Motherboard already
features one built-in VGA port and three built-in audio-stereo ports
(Line-out, Line-in, Microphone).
Notice: If you plan on using the onboard VGA and intend to install
only one DRAM memory module, then this single DRAM must be
installed in bank DIMM1.
What kind of speaker can connect to "Line-out" port?
This Motherboard requires a speaker with built-in amplifier to
generate proper output sound volume.
