Accelerated Graphics Port; Hardware Monitoring - EPOX EP-BX6 User Manual

Introduction EP-BX6
The L2 cache (TagRAM, PBSRAM) components keep standard industry names.
® ®
The Pentium II or Pentium III Processor is the first product to utilize the S.E.C.
cartridge technology and Slot 1 connector. Unless otherwise noted, any refer-
® ® ®
ences to "Pentium II Processor," "Pentium II or Pentium III Processor/Slot 1
®
processor" or "Pentium III Processor" will apply to both the Pentium II Proces-
sor desktop processors.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)
Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and
demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the
personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only
increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.
Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation
behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between
the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pres-
sures for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems
operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM
of fan.
