PCI Slots
There are five PCI slots on board; 4 are “master” bus and one is “slave.”
133MB/s data transfer rate on PCI bus can be compared to 33MB/s on EISA
bus or 8MB/s on ISA bus. PCI interface has synchronous data transfer rate
from CPU to PCI with good graphic performance.
While plugging into 5 PCI add-on cards,
PCI 1- PCI 4 are master bus and PCI5 is
slave bus. If there are 4 PCI add-on cards
(or below 4 cards), all them are master bus.
ISA Slots
There are 2 standard 16-bit ISA slots on board. They are both bus mastering.
