3.7.3 Accelerated Graphics Port Pro (AGP Pro)
This motherboard provides an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP Pro) slot to support
a new generation of graphics cards with ultra-high memory bandwidth, such as an
ASUS 3D graphics accelerator.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging your AGP/AGP Pro graphics card, it is highly
recommended that you turn off your computer's power supply before inserting
your graphics card into the slot.

3.7.4 Audio Modem Riser (AMR) Slot
This connector supports a specially designed audio and/or modem card called an AMR.
Main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard's sys-
tem chipset. This provides an upgradeable audio and/or modem solution at an incred-
ibly low cost. There are two types of AMR, one defined as primary and another de-
fined as secondary. This motherboard uses the primary channel so that a secondary
AMR can coexist without the need to disable the onboard CODEC. The motherboard's
onboard CODEC must be disabled when using a primary AMR.
IMPORTANT:
The AMR slot of this motherboard shares the same expansion slot
as PCI Slot 3. Because of this and its location, the slot can only accept a specially
designed AMR card (optional). The components of a standard AMR card and its
bracket face toward the edge of the motherboard while those of the specially-
designed card face the expansion slots. For availability, see your vendor or dealer.
