Introduction
Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 3 PCI slots.
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D
graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system
memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The universal
AGP slot supports AGP 2x with up to 533MB/sec. bandwidth and
AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics applica-
tions. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better graph-
ics to your PC.
