8
Expansion Slots
The mainboard is equipped with 1 universal AGP slot and 3 PCI
slots.
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 mainboard will deliver faster and better
graphics to your PC.
