AGP Graphics Support
The mainboard has an AGP slot for the optional installation of an accelerated graphics
port video adapter. AGP is today's standard for high-performance 2D and 3D video
processing
Versatile Expansion Options
The board has 6 expansion slots. Four PCI slots can be used by 32-bit PCI expansion
cards. Two ISA slots can be used by 8-bit/16-bit ISA expansion cards. One PCI slot is
shared with one of the ISA slots. This means that you can use either of the slots, but
not both. Five free slots, plus an AGP slot for a graphics adapter, allows a high degree
of system expansion.
Integrated I/O
The board features a full set of standard I/O ports. An AT enhanced keyboard DIN
socket is pre-installed and connectors are available for one parallel, two serial, two
USB, PS/2 mouse, and infrared ports. The mainboard is installed with two PCI IDE
channels which can support Ultra-DMA-33 disk drives, and a floppy disk drive
interface.
Programmable Firmware
The mainboard includes Award BIOS which allows BIOS setting of CPU parameters.
The fully programmable firmware enhances the system features and allows users to set
power management, hardware monitoring, (optional) LAN and modem wake up,
alarms, and so on.
