Introduction

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 3 PCI slots.

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)

AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D

graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system

memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The universal

AGP slot supports AGP 2x with up to 533MB/sec. bandwidth and

AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics applica-

tions. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better graph-

ics to your PC.
