1.5.1 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports this

motherboard does not have built in video facilities and therefore requires

a video card for one of the expansion slots. Your monitor will attach

directly to that video card. This motherboard supports video cards for

PCI and ISA slots but is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP PRO). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for

improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

An AGP compatible card will fit into the AGP (AGP PRO) slot provided

by the motherboard.

The AMR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture and that

defines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports audio and

modem only.

The motherboard is equipped with one standard ISA slot. ISA stands for

Industry Standard Architecture and was designed as a bus standard for

expansion cards in the early 90's for PC XT/AT machines. This

motherboard retains backward compatibility with this older and slower

bus architecture.

1.5.4 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)

Slots

This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for

Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for expansion

cards, which has, for the most part, supplanted the older ISA bus standard.

This PCI slot is designated as 32 bit.
