PCI Local Bus
The industry-standard PCI bus is a highly integrated I/O
interface that offers the highest performance local bus
available for the Pentium processor. The PCI bus supports
burst modes that send large chunks of data across the bus,
allowing fast displays of high-resolution images.
The high bandwidth PCI local bus eliminates the data
bottleneck found in traditional systems, maintains
maximum performance at high clock speeds, and provides
a clear upgrade path to future technologies.
PCI Auto Configuration
Your system comes with a PCI auto-configuration utility
that operates in conjunction with the system’s Setup util-
ity. The utility automatically configures interrupts, DMA
channels, I/O space, and other parameters to allow addi-
tion of optional PCI boards with minimal intervention on
your part.

graphics accelerator and standard 1 MB of video memory
