AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP graphics card. AGP is

an interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D

graphics. It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics con-

troller to directly access main memory and provides three levels of

throughputs: 1x (266Mbps), 2x (533Mbps) and 4x (1.07Gbps).

PCI Slots

The five PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet

your needs. When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that

you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation

for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software

settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS

configuration.

The motherboard provides one AGP slot, five 32-bit Master PCI

bus slots, one ISA slot and one CNR slot.
