Connecting AGP 8X Expansion Slot
n250a-FR / n250a-L / n250a provide an AGP 8X slot, a sky blue slot having the
latest AGP specification on motherboard. The AGP 8X is a bus interface targeted
for high-performance 3D graphic. Traditionally AGP used both rising and falling
edge of the 66MHz clock for 4X AGP, and the data transfer rate could achieve
66MHz x 4bytes x 4 = 1056MB/s. Now AGP is moving to AGP 8X mode, which is
upgraded to 66MHz x 4bytes x 8 =2.1GB/s. You can also adjust AGP voltage in
BIOS with range from 1.5V to 1.60V.

Warning:
It is strongly recommended not adjust AGP/PCI
voltage/clock when you connect SATA device. It is because when
the voltage/clock for AGP/PCI is adjusted, the SATA clock cannot
remain at 100MHz, and the system will therefore be unstable.
