PCI Slots and AGP Slot

These expansion slots represent 32-bit PCI Local Bus slots. All the PCI slots accept PCI bus mastering cards and fully support the PCI 2.1 specification. Because of the ATX form factor, all slots accept full-length cards.

This motherboard contains a shared PCI/ISA expansion slot. Only one of these slots may be used at one time by a plug-in card. Accelerated graphics port (AGP) The AGP is a high-performance interconnect for graphic-intensive applications, such as 3D applications. AGP is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical-display devices. AGP provides these performance features: Pipelined-memory read and write operations that hide memory access latency Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for near 100 percent bus efficiency AC timing for 133-megahertz (MHz) data transfer rates, allowing data throughput of 500 megabytes per second AGP complies with the 66 MHz PCI specification.
