  • Page 7: What Is Agp

    Introduction Figure 3: OEM Pentium III Processor 1.6 What is AGP The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory. The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs.32-Bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing.

    6ZXC Pentium II/III 550 MHz Pentium II/III 600 MHz Pentium II/III 650 MHz The CPU is a sensitive electric component and it can be easily damaged by static electricity, so users must keep it away from metal surface when the CPU is installed onto main board.
  • Page 18: Ide & Atapi Device Installation

    Hardware Installation 3.10. IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION There are two-Enhanced PCI IDE ports (IDE1, IDE2) on board, which following ATAPI standard SPEC. Any one IDE port can connected to two ATAPI devices (IDE Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Tape Driver), so total four ATAPI devices can exist in a system.
