Using the Expansion Slots

This mainboard has four 32-bit PCI expansion slots, one 2xAGP
slot, and an AMR slot.

PCI Slots: The PCI slots can be used to install add-in cards that
have the 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components Interconnect) in-
terface.

ISA Slots: The ISA slots can be used to install add-in cards that
have the 8/16-bit ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) interface.

AGP Slot: The 2xAGP can be used to install a graphics adapter
that supports the AGP specification and has the AGP edge con-
nector.

AMR Slot: The Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slot can be used to
insert an AMR card.
