wrench Known issues
  • Fake AGP slot

Any AGP cards inserted into this slot operate in PCI 33Mhz Fallback mode.

  1. DO NOT use 1.5V exclusive AGP cards (rear notch away from IO side) in this board.
  2. ONLY use true universal AGP cards with both slots, these support 1.5V and 3.3V operation.
    • This is a PCI bus connected to an AGP slot.
    • The PCI bus operates at 3.3V and may damage 1.5V exclusive cards.
    • AGP cards are backwards compatible with PCI signalling logic.
    • Performance is greatly reduced vs a true AGP bus.
