ATX Power Supply Connector
The system board is equipped with an ATX power supply
connector. Using an ATX power supply, you can either shut down
your computer by pressing the Power button located on the front
bezel of your computer or by executing the Shut Down
command under the Windows
 95 operating system. Your system
will then enter the “Soft Off ” state.
To power-on your system automatically, enable “Resume On Alarm”
in the Power Management Setup of the Award BIOS (Chapter 3).
This will allow you to set the date and time you would like your
system to power-on.
1.1.2 Technology
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
The system board is equipped with 1 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 Intel
Pentium
 processor based system board will deliver faster and
better graphics with your PC.
SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
The system board supports unbuffered SDRAM memory. SDRAM
is a DRAM technology that uses the clock on the chip to
synchronize with the CPU clock so that the timing of the memory
chips and the timing of the CPU are synchronized. This saves time
during transmission of data, subsequently increasing system
performance.
