This motherboard provides an accelerated graphics port (AGP Pro) to support a new
generation of AGP graphics cards with ultra-high memory bandwidth.

AGP 4X cards are

rated for both 1.5 and 3.3 Volts. Early AGP cards only operate at 3.3 volts and will
not fit properly into the new AGP 4X slots. See examples of both types below:

3.7.4 Communications and Networking Riser (CNR)

This connector supports specially designed network, audio, or modem riser cards.
Main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard’s
system chipset. This provides upgradeable network, audio, and/or modem solutions
at an incredibly low cost.

An early 3.3V AGP card:

Do not use.

A new 1.5 / 3.3V AGP card:

OKAY to use.
