At the ASRock booth, the emphasis is their
innovative 865GV mainboard. As we know, 865GV doesn't come with AGP slot. ASRock
managed to do that and patented it.
ASRock’s engineers are presenting their innovative ability again by unveiling
the latest creative design –
ASRock A.G.I.8X, a VGA upgrade interface on i865GV platform – ASRock P4i65GV.
The specifications of i865GV provide an on-board VGA - Extreme Graphics 2 but
without the AGP slot support, which is for the VGA upgrade. Driven by the
thought of considerate and cost-effective, ASRock’s innovative engineers
designed a special VGA upgrade interface on the i865GV platform – the A.G.I.8X (ASRock
Graphics Interface).
The ASRock A.G.I.8X provides below features:
ASRock A.G.I.8X is a WW patent design, a gift for VGA upgrade on i865GV and
i845GV platform
Compatible with AGP8X/4X
Supports Microsoft DirectX 9.0 standard
Provides an extra Easy Dual Monitor Upgrade feature under Windows 2000/XP
The new ASRock Intel i865GV platform – P4i65GV is equipped with the ASRock
unique design - A.G.I.8X, which brings below benefits to customers:
- Provides an upgradeable graphics interface for add-on VGA cards
- Save your money: compared to i865G motherboard, the P4i65GV also provide the
VGA upgrade specification through AGI8X but save more cost.
- Unique and unbeatable VGA upgrade capability: Other i865GV motherboards only
provide with on-board VGA without any VGA upgrade interface, while ASRock
P4i65GV provides both on-board VGA and VGA upgrade interface- ASRock A.G.I.8X
According to i865GV’s high-end specifications, ASRock P4i65GV delivers up to
6.4GB/s high-speed bandwidth between CPU and Memory control via the ultimate FSB
800MHz (Socket478, Prescott/Northwood) support. The Dual Channel DDR400
architecture provides up to 6.4GB/s bandwidth and excellent performance for
applications. Besides, the P4i65GV accommodates with a new generation storage
interface – SerialATA, which provides 1.5Gb/s high-speed data transferring rate.
The integrated 5.1-channel 3D Audio feature, 10/100 PCI Ethernet LAN and ASRock
I/O Plus – up to 8 USB2.0 ports support deliver the full functions and great
devices extension capability to users.
The ASRock P4i65GV with the unique ASRock A.G.I.8X and full functions is
definitely the best cost-effective solutions among the platforms of i865GV, even
competitive to the higher chipset segment products.
