1.2 Special Features of the System Board
PCI Express
PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The system board currently supports the physical layer of x1 and x16 (915G- TMGF only) lane widths.
The x1 PCI Express lane supports transfer rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per second. The PCI Express architecture also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by doubling the capability of the existing AGP 8x designs over a x16 PCI Express lane that provides 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.
