Utilizing Intel??s next generation platform, 915 Express Chipset, EP-5EGA+ and EP-5EPA+ offer new levels of system performance. EP-5EGA+ features onboard Intel?? Graphic Media Accelerator 900 (GMA 900), which improves gaming and media experience through optimized 2D performance and support for key 3D applications, such as DirectX* 9 and OpenGL 1.4. PCI Express is the first major system bus architectural change in 10 years. EP-5EGA+ and EP-5EPA+ incorporate two ultra fast PCI-Express x1 slots, which extend bandwidth up to 250Mb/s and overcome the bottleneck of bandwidth-intensive applications. Moreover, the on-board PCI Express x 16 graphics slot is designed for new generation VGA cards, which deliver up to 4GB/s bandwidth and up to 4X faster than previous high-end discrete graphics solutions.
