Special Features
The Twister LX achieves high reliability and high perfor-
mance with numerous features.
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
With the introduction of the Pentium II and the 440LX
AGPset, graphics took the next step onto the AGP
freeway. The AGP bus is
faster than the current
33MHz PCI bus. It pro-
vides a
direct
connection
between the graphics
subsystem and system
memory. AGP, with dual
528MB/s data path, sur-
passes PCI’s 132MB
bottleneck.
LM79
A highly integrated Data Acquisition system for hard-
ware monitoring of servers, Personal Computers, or
virtually any microprocessor based system. In a PC, the
LM79 can be used to
monitor power supply
voltages, temperatures,
and fan speeds. It pro-
vides the hardware sup-
port for remote manage-
ment software, (e.g.,
Intel’s LANDesk) to keep
maintenance costs to a minimum while providing real
time remote management.
