Remark 1.Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website. 2.Most hardware/software vendors may no longer offer drivers to support Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers are available from the vendors we will update them on the GIGABYTE website.
