4.15 Slots

The slots in this motherboard are designed to hold expansion

cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are

a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard's features and

capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the

motherboard's capabilities by adding hardware that performs

tasks that are not part of the basic system.

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. This 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.

CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot(AMR type)

The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture

and that defines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which

supports audio and modem only.

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots

This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI

stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus

standard for expansion cards, which has, for the most part,

supplanted the older ISA bus standard. This PCI slot is

designated as 32 bit.
