8
Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 universal AGP slot that
supports 4x/2x AGP card and GPA card. It is also equipped with 3
PCI slots (1 shared with CNR slot) and 1 CNR 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. 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
applications. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better
graphics to your PC.
GPA card is a Graphics Performance Accelerator card with 4MB
display cache.
CNR (Communication and Networking Riser) is an interface that can
support multi-channel audio, V.90 analog modem, phone-line based
networking or 10/100 Ethernet based networking riser board.
Onboard Graphics Features
• Graphics memory
-
Shares 1MB of the system memory. This is fixed regardless of
the size of the system memory.
-
Uses the Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) tech-
nology. This freely changes in size because graphics memory is
allocated from the system memory according to current
needs.
-
Supports 4MB display cache by installing a 4MB GPA (Graph-
ics Performance Accelerator) card into the AGP/GPA slot
(4MB GPA card - optional).
• Graphics controller
-
133MHz super AGP performance when installed with a 4MB
GPA card (optional)
-
3D hyper pipelined architecture
-
2D hardware and motion video acceleration
-
9-bit precision hardware motion compensation assistance for
software MPEG2 decode
-
Software DVD at 30fps
