Introduction

7

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 dedicated AGP slot. 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; delivering up to 533MB/sec.

bandwidth for 3D graphics applications. AGP in this system board

will deliver faster and better graphics with your PC.

The system board is also equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots, 2

dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI and ISA slots are bus masters

except PCI 4 in the CB64-ZX which is slave only.
