AOpen i865 Family Motherboards provides an AGP 8X slot, a sky blue slot which has the latest AGP specification in motherboard. The
AGP 8X is a bus interface targeted for high-performance 3D graphic. AGP uses both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock, for 4X
AGP, the data transfer rate is 66MHz x 4bytes x 4 = 1056MB/s. AGP is now moving to AGP 8X mode, which is 66MHz x 4bytes x 8
=2.1GB/s. You can also adjust AGP voltage in BIOS within a range from 1.5V to 1.6V. For AX4SG series, this AGP slot could
automatically become an AGP slot or a Multiplexed Intel DVO Output depending on what kind of cards inserted, like AGP, or ADD (AGP
Digital Display) cards. With ADD card cabled to this slot, Multiplexed Intel DVO output could provide high-speed digital connection for
digital displays or TV-OUT functionality.
Warning: It is strongly
recommended not to adjust
voltage/clock of AGP/PCI
when connecting any SATA
service. It is because when
the voltage/clock for
AGP/PCI is adjusted, the
clock for SATA couldn’t
keep 100MHz, and the
system will be unstable.
Warning: It is strongly recommended not
to install a 3.3V AGP card, which is not
supported by Intel 865G / 865PE / 848P
chipset.
