Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes two 32-bit Master PCI bus slots , one PCI Express
x1 slot and one PCI Express x16 slot.
PCI Slots
The expansion cards can be installed in the two PCI slots. W hen you install or
take out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled
out. Please read carefully the instructions provided for such cards, and install
and set the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as the
jumper or BIOS settings.
-Compatible with existing PCI drivers and software and Operating Systems.
-High Bandwidth per Pin. Low overhead. Low latency.
-PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins. This
results in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s.
-A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connec-
tion without sharing bandwidth.
-Ability to comprehend different data structure.
-Low power consumption and power management features.
PCI Express will take two forms, x16 and x1 PCI Express slots. W hereas the x16
slot is reserved for graphic/video cards, the x1 slots are designed to accommo-
date less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card.
The difference in bandwidth between the x16 and x1 slots are not able to be
sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/s(8GB/s concurrent) of bandwidth, and the
x1 PCI Express slot offering 250MB/s.
