The A.G.P. is a high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphics applications and is based on a set of performance enhancements to PCI. The IN440EX is designed to support the A.G.P. Interface. The A.G.P. implementation is compatible with the Accelerated Graphics Port Specification. The system supports only a synchronous A.G.P. -
Page 13: Embedded Pci Devices
PCI Add-in Cards High Performance PCI I/O cards can be used in the IN440EX through the PCI connector slots. The PCI bus is specified to support 10 loads. Each embedded controller or bridge (Video, PCI to ISA Bridge) count as 1 load, each PCI expansion slot used counts as 2 loads. - Page 14 The IN440EX supports the ACPI specification and its key elements; The Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM). ACPI evolves the existing collection of power management BIOS code, APM APIs, PNP BIOS APIs, and so on into a well-specified power management and configuration mechanism. It provides support for an orderly transition from existing (legacy) hardware to ACPI hardware, and it allows for both mechanisms to exist in a single machine and be used as needed.
