AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP 1.5V graphics card. AGP is an
interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics.
It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly
access main memory.
Please note that the AGP slot does not support 3.3V AGP card. Use of 3.
3V AGP card may cause damages to the mainboard. To avoid the risk of
causing permanent damages to the mainboard, the AGP slot is protected with
MSI electrical routing device. If users have inserted a 3.3V AGP card into the
slot, the MSI routing device will disable the computer's boot-up system. Re-
move the 3.3V AGP card and the boot-up system will return to normal.
