Introduction
7
Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot, 5 PCI slots (1
shared with CNR slot) and 1 CNR slot.
The AGP slot only supports 1.5V AGP 4x (1066MB/sec. bandwidth)
add-in cards. AGP is an interface designed to support high
performance 3D graphics cards for 3D graphics applications. It
handles large amounts of graphics data with the following features:
Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory
access latency.
Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for nearly 100
percent efficiency.
CNR (Communication and Networking Riser) is an interface that
supports multi-channel audio, V.90 analog modem or 10/100
Ethernet based networking riser board.
