Desktop Board Features Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) ✏ NOTE The board is only compatible with 1.5 V AGP cards. The AGP is a high-performance bus for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D graphics. AGP is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical display devices. The AGP connector supports AGP 4X and 2X add-in cards. The AGP card retention mechanism is used only with cards with retention notches (see Figure 3 on page 22). For information about installing the AGP card retention mechanism and an AGP card, see Chapter 2.
