Connecting PCI Express x16 Graphics Slot

i915Gm-PL / i915Pm-PL provides a PCI Express x 16 Graphics slot, a black slot

having the latest PCI Express x 16 specification on motherboard. The PCI Express

x 16 is a bus interface targeted for high-performance 3D graphic. Traditionally

AGP used both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock for 8X AGP, and the data

transfer rate could achieve 2.1GB/s. Now PCI Express x 16 is moving to higher

data transfer rate, which is upgraded to 8.0GB/s (250MB/s x 16 x 2, it's 4.0GB/s

per direction). For i915Gm-PL, the PCI Express x16 Graphics slot can

automatically recognize a PCI Express x 16 Graphics or a Multiplexed Intel DVO

Output depending on which cards being inserted, such as PCI Express x 16

Graphics, or ADD2 (AGP Digital Display 2) cards. With an ADD2 card implemented

to this slot, Multiplexed Intel DVO output will provide high-speed digital

connection for digital displays or TV-OUT functionality.
