This motherboard also supports a
Universal PCI Express slot with a
maximum speed of 2 GB/s. The
operating frequency of this slot changes, depending on the type of PCI
Express card you install. Refer to the table on the next page for details.
The figure shows two graphics cards installed on the primary PCI Express
x16 slot and the Universal PCI Express slot.
If you install two VGA cards, we recommend that you plug the rear
chassis fan cable to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1 for
better thermal environment. See page 2-31 for the connector location.
