Connecting AGP 8X Expansion Slot (only for vKM400Am-S)
vKM400Am-S provides an AGP 8X slot. 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.
Warning
: It is strongly
recommended not install
a 3.3V AGP card, which
is not supported by VIA
KM400A chipset on this
motherboard.
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.
