2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI, AMR, AGI, and AGI Express Slots)

There are 2 PCI slots, 1 AMR slot, 1 AGI slot, and 1 AGI Express slot (PCI Express x

4) on this motherboard.

PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

AMR slot: AMR slot is used to insert an ASRock MR card (optional) with v.92

Modem functionality.

AGI slot: The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] slot is a special design that only

supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For the information of the compat-

ible AGP VGA cards, please refer to the "Supported AGP VGA Cards List

for AGI Slot" on page 7 and page 8.

AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4):

AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4) is used to install PCI Express expan-

sion cards. For the information of the compatible PCI Express VGA cards,

please refer to the "Supported PCI Express VGA Card List for AGI Ex-

press Slot (PCI Express x 4)" on page 9.

1. If you install the add-on AGP VGA card or PCI Express VGA card,

BIOS setup will automatically disable the onboard VGA.

2. Please make sure to set the BIOS onboard VGA selection into "En

abled" if you want this motherboard to support Surround Display.

Then the onboard VGA in Windows will be the primary VGA card.
