Slots: AGP/ PCI
The slots in this mainboard are designed for expansion cards and are used as an interface
between the card and the system bus. Expansion cards are a means of enhancing the
mainboards features by performing tasks that are not part of the basic system.
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
PM845GE1 supports video cards for PCI slots but is also equipped with an Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for
improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.
If you try to install 1X or 2X AGP cards (3.3V Core) onto the AGP slot of
PX845GE1, some of the components could incur damage. Use the onboard VGA or
install 4X/1.5V AGP cards.
PM845GV1/ PM845GL1/ PM845GL1-533 supports ADD cards only. The digital
display channels are capable of supporting a variety of DVO devices (e.g. TMDS, LVDS
and TV-OUT).
If you try to install the other graphics cards onto the AGP slot of PM845GV1/
PM845GL1/ PM845GL1-533, the display would be not correctly. Use the onboard
VGA or install an ADD card.
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots
This mainboard is equipped with 2 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for expansion cards, this PCI slot is
designated as 32-bit.
