1.5V 8xAGP Pro Slot (*P4SCT/P4ST+II)

The P4SCT/P4SCT+/P4SCT+II includes an 8xAGP Pro slot for high- performance video cards. It is backward compatible with 4xAGP and 2xAGP graphics cards. To install a VGA card, power down the system and remove the I/O shield corresponding to the AGP Pro slot. Push the AGP card down and make sure that the golden finger does not show. Then, screw the AGP card onto the board. Replace all chassis covers before restoring power to the system.
