AGP also accesses the main memory directly allowing 3D textures to be stored in
main memory rather than video memory.
PCI bus
The system board has five PCI slots that support 32-bit/33 MHz PCI devices. The
PCI bus is the key interface that communicates between the north and the south
bridge.
Hardware management support
The system board supports a power-management function that conforms to the
power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Energy Star program.
It also offers Plug-and-Play which helps save users from
configuration problems, thus making the system more user-friendly.
Additional features include hardware support for ASM (Advanced System
Manager) and RDM (Remote Diagnostic Manager). ASM detects problems in the
CPU thermal condition, CPU working voltage detection (±12V/±5V/3.3V/1.5V),
and PCI bus utilization calculation.
It also detects if the CPU fan or the chassis fan
malfunctions. Meanwhile, RDM allows execution of the RDM diagnostic program
from a remote RDM station to fix detected problems or to reboot the system.
