port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.
The chipset has the following advanced USB features:
•
Compliant with Enhanced Host Controller Interface
(EHCI) Specification Revision 0.95 and Universal Host
Controller Interface (UHCI) Specification Revision 1.1
•
PCI multi-function device consists of two UHCI Host Control-
lers for full/low-speed signaling and one EHCI Host
Controller core for high-speed signaling
•
Supports PCI-Bus Power Management Interface Specifi-
cation release 1.1
•
Legacy support for all downstream facing ports
AGP
The mainboard includes a AGP slot that provides four times
the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP technol-
ogy provides a direct connection between the graphics sub-
system and the processor so that the graphics do not have to
compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.
