If you are using an operating system in European languages, and you’d like to play the
media files in MEGA STICK with East-Asian languages (such as Chinese, Japanese...
etc.), it is possible that the file names display incorrectly.
However, you can install the Supplemental Language Support provided by
Microsoft to solve this problem. You need to have your Microsoft Setup CD prepared
in the CD-ROM. The system will start to install the necessary components after the
settings are configured here. Follow the steps described below.
1.Go to [Control Panel] and choose [Regional and Languages Options].
2.Go to  the [Languages] tab and enable the check box of [Install files for East
Asian languages]. A dialogue box will pop up to remind you the above selection
is chosen. 
						

							Introduction to DigiCell4-133. Then go to the [Advanced] tab and select the language you want to be
supported (the language of the filename in the MegaStick) from the drop-
down list in the [Language for non-Unicode programs], then click [Apply]. The
system will install the necessary components from your Microsoft Setup CD
immediately.

Cool’n’Quiet
This utility provides a CPU temperature detection function called Cool’n’Quiet.
Cool’n’Quiet is a special feature designed only for AMD®
 Athlon64 processor, and
with Cool’n’Quiet, the system will be capable of detecting the temperature of the
CPU according to the CPU’s working loading.  When the CPU temperature climbs up to
a certain degree, the speed of the system cooling fan will be risen automatically, and
on the other hand, the speed of the system cooling fan will slow down instantly
when the CPU temperature descends to its normal degree.Here the current system status (including Vcore, 3.3V, +5V and 12V) and the current
PC hardware status (such as the CPU & system temperatures and all fans speeds)
are shown on the left and right sides for you to monitor.
When you click the red triangles in the left and right sides, two sub-menus will open
for users to overclock, overspec or to adjust the thresholds of system to send out the
warning messages. 
						

							Introduction to DigiCell4-15Left-side: Current system status
In the left sub-menu, you can configure the settings of FSB, Vcore, Memory Voltage
and AGP Voltage by clicking the radio button in front of each item and make it available
(the radio button will be lighted as yellow when selected), use the “+” and “-” buttons
to adjust, then click “OK” to apply the changes. Then you can click “Save” to save
the desired FSB you just configured.
Also you may click “Auto” to start testing the maximum CPU overclocking value. The
CPU FSB will automatically increase the testing value until the PC reboots. Or you may
click “Default” to restore the default values.
Right-side: PC hardware status during real time operation
In the right sub-menu, here you can configure the PC hardware status such as CPU
& system temperatures and fan speeds. You may use the scroll bars to adjust each
item, then click “OK” to apply the changes. The values you set for the temperatures
are the maximum thresholds for the system for warnings, and the values for fan
speeds are the minimum thresholds.
Center-side: User mode/Auto mode
Here you may adjust the CPU fan speed. If you choose User mode, you may adjust
the CPU fan speed in 8 different modes, from High Speed to Low speed. If you
choose Cool’n’Quiet, the system will automatically configure an optimal setting for
you.MSI Reminds You...
To ensure that Cool’n’Quiet function is activated and will be working
properly, it is required to double confirm that:
1.  Check the serial number printed on the top of CPU. On the top of CPU,
there are three lines listed under AMD AthlonTM
. Find the 13 charac-
ters of the first line, and locate the last one from those 13 characters.
If the last character is “O” or after “O” (such as P, Q, R, and so on), that
means this CPU supports Cool’n’Quiet function.  On the contrary, if
the last character is before
“O”, that means this CPU does
not support Cool’n’Quiet
function.
2.Run BIOS Setup, and select
Frequency/Voltage
Control. Under Frequency/
Voltage Control, find
Cool’n’Quiet Support, and
set this item to “Enable.”
3.Enter Windows, and select
[Start]->[Settings]->[Control
Pannel]->[Power Options].
Enter Power Options Prop-
erties tag, and select Mini-
mal Power Management
under Power schemes.
