Asus Mediabus Card - Asus P I-P55TP4N User Manual

ASUS MediaBus Card

MediaBus allows a cost-efficient solution to a complete multimedia sys-
tem. The advantages of using one add-on card is to reduce the slot require-
ments and compatibility problems in order to maximize the Plug and Play
advantages. The add-on card inserts into the shared PCI 4 / MediaBus 2.0
Slot.
NOTE: This motherboard uses MediaBus Rev. 2.0. The previous Me-
diaBus cards designed for MediaBus Rev. 1.2 will not fit into the Me-
diaBus Rev 2.0 that is on this motherboard.
The difference between Rev. 1.2 and Rev. 2.0 is that the later revision has
72 pins instead of 68 so it does not have to use any PCI slot signals reserved
for PCI cards, therefore the motherboard's PCI Slot 4 can meet standard
specifications. The gap between the MediaBus extension and the PCI
Slot 4 has been increased from 0.32" to 0.40" in order to prevent Rev. 1.2
MediaBus cards from being installed into the new motherboards and vice
versa.
The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 2.0 that can be
used on this motherboard:
• PCI-AS2940UW
• PCI-AV264CT-N
• PCI-AV264VT
The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 1.2 and there-
fore cannot be used on this motherboard:
• PCI-AS7870
• PCI-AV264CT
• PCI-AV868
