Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT)
PAT mode is supported only when the system uses DDR400
with 800MHz FSB CPU. PAT performs data transactions directly
from the CPU to the system memory, bypassing the normal path
of operation. This reduces the MCH timing therefore providing
improved system performance.
CMOS Reloaded
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing multiple
user-defined configurations by using the BIOS utility to save, load
and name the configur ations. This is especially useful to
overclockers who require saving a variety of overclocked con-
figurations and being able to conveniently switch between these
configurations simultaneously.
Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 5 PCI slots.
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
• Supports AGP 3.0 (AGP 4x and 8x) and AGP 2.0 (AGP 1x and
4x) spec.
• Supports 1.5V AGP 8x (2.13GB/sec.) and AGP 4x (1066MB/
sec.) add-in cards.
AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D
graphics cards for 3D graphics applications. It handles large
amounts of graphics data with the following features:
