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.
