  • Instant Message tools under Express Gate.
  • Bootup time of Express Gate.
  • 4GB memory installed but less memory size detected.

    Express Gate has bundled two IM(Instant Message) tools, Skype and MSN. Since Express Gate is different from Microsoft Windows OS, is there anything that I need to be aware of when I use Skype and MSN under Express Gate?

    - Answer:
    Please note the following conditions when you use Skype or MSN under Express Gate:

    Linux Skype 1.3.0.53: 1. User accounts on the logging interface will not be cleared after logging out. 2. Unable to accept chatter's invitation for online games. 3. Unable to edit photo under personal information item.

    MSN (Pidgin 2.2.0): 1. Unable to accept chatter's invitation for online games. 2. There's no system audio for MSN. 3. Unable to change fonts size or the background color.

    Your website says that Express Gate takes about 5 seconds to boot up. How is this time measured?

    - Answer:
    Due to different system configurations, the actual bootup time may be slightly longer than 5 seconds. On average, the bootup is about 5 seconds.

  • The actual bootup time is subject to hardware configurations and product models.
  • The bootup time is counted from powering on the system to Express Gate First Screen.
  • Internet is connected automatically if network settings are done in advance.

    I have install total 4GB memory on my motherboard. However, it can only recognize around 3.1GB or less. My friend's SLI board even less than 3GB. What's up? How should I do to recognize 4GB totally?

    - Answer:
    If you installed total 4GB memory, the system will detect less than 4GB of total memory because of address space allocation for other critical functions, such as:

    - System BIOS (including motherboard, add-on cards, etc..) - Motherboards resources - Memory mapped I/O - configuration for AGP/PCI-Ex/PCI - Other memory allocations for PCI devices

    Different onboard devices and different add-on cards (devices) will result of different total memory size. e.g. more PCI cards installed will require more memory resources, resulting of less memory free for other uses.

    On a SLI system, since PCI-Ex graphic cards will occupy around 256MB, another 256MB will be occupied after you install a 2nd PCI-Ex graphic card. Hence, 2.75GB memory left only if two SLI cards installed on A8N-SLI Premium while 3.0GB memory left with one graphic card without other add-on devices.

    This limitation applies to most chipsets & Microsoft Windows 32-bit version operating systems.

    If you install Windows 32-bit version operating system, we recommend that you install less than 3GB of total memory. If more than 3GB memory is required for your system, then below two conditions must be met: 1. The memory controller which supports memory swap functionality is used. Chipsets later than Intel 975X, 955X, Nvidia NF4 SLI Intel Edition, Nvidia NF4 SLI X16, and AMD K8 CPU architecture support memory swap function. 2. Windows 64-bit OS which can address more than 4GB memory.
