LAN subsystem
Another cost-effective feature for network solutions is the integration
of Intel’s 82550 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controller which supports:
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0B-based
power management
wake on Magic Packet
wake on Interesting Packet
advanced System Management Bus (SMB) based manageability
Wired for Management (WfM) 2.0 compliance
IP checksum assist
PCI 2.2 compliance
PC 2001 compliance
Expansion slots
AGP bus
AGP is solely developed for the purpose of supporting 3D graphic
applications. The AGP Pro (50) slot has a 32-bit wide channel that runs
at 66 MHz, which translates into a total bandwidth of 266 MBps. This
is twice the bandwidth of PCI buses (133 MBps). AGP also accesses the
main memory directly allowing 3D textures to be stored in main
memory rather than video memory.
PCI bus
The mainboard has five PCI buses that support 32-bit/33 MHz PCI
devices. The PCI bus is the key interface that communicates between
the north and the south bridge.
