AGP Slot The accelerated graphics port (AGP) 1.5-volt switching voltage level (SVL) slot provides a dedicated high-speed bus with the 82850 memory controller hub (MCH). This motherboard supports AGP 4X.

The AGP slot is fitted with an AGP card retention mechanism to hold the AGP card securely in place. To remove or reseat the card, push the lever toward the bottom of the case, and then remove the video card.

Note: Not all Monterrey motherboards have the AGP retention mechanism.

The AGP slot has the following features:

  • Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory access latency
  • Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for nearly 100 percent efficiency

Note: The motherboard does not support legacy AGP cards using the 3.3-volt specification. Use of these cards prevents the computer from starting.
