Chapter 1 Motherboard Description 1.5.1 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports, this motherboard does not have built in video facilities; and therefore, requires a video card for one of the expansion slots. Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. Tis motherboard supports video cards for PCI and ISA slots, but is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics. 1.5.2 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards supplanted the older ISA bus standard in most parts. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits. 1.5.3 CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture, and defines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which only supports audio, network and modem. 1-18

1.5.1 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports, this motherboard does not
have built in video facilities; and therefore, requires a video card for one of the
expansion slots.
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card.
Tis
motherboard supports video cards for PCI and ISA slots, but is also equipped with
an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP).
An AGP card will take advantage of AGP
technology for improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D
graphics.
1.5.2 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots
This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards supplanted the
older ISA bus standard in most parts. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.
1.5.3 CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot
The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture, and defines a
hardware scalable riser card interface, which only supports audio, network and
modem.
