Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 6 PCI slots.

Important:

Most PCI cards today are in “Master” mode and can be installed anywhere between PCI slot 1 and PCI slot 5. DO NOT install “Master” mode PCI cards onto PCI slot 6 because this slot only supports “Slave” mode.

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.
