Intel® Desktop Boards and WHQL Intel Desktop Boards are submitted to Microsoft* Windows* Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) for participation in the Motherboard Logo Program. Successful passage of the WHQL tests results in the Designed for Windows" logo for qualifying boards.
When you see the Designed for Windows* XP" logo, as you do with Intel Desktop Boards, it signifies that the board meets Microsoft's standard for hardware compatibility with Windows XP.

Note: Beginning July 1, 2002, Microsoft WHQL will no longer accept submissions for Windows 98 SE or Windows NT operating systems. This includes all submission types for all devices and systems.
