The board comes with 3 PCI, 1 PCIe x16 and 1 AGP 8x slot. Right behind the PCI slots are the audio codec, GbE controller chip. A 4 phase power being implemented and ASRock has rid the 20 pin connector and it comes with a 24 Pin.

At the centre of the board is the ULi M1695 which is responsible for the PCIe lanes. The other chipset at the south corner end of the board is the NF3-250 which supports AGP 8x and also the 2 SATA 1.5Gb/s port and 2 IDE channels.
