aware of these several variations. For instance, the first two slots in Figure 3-18 are used by
cards that follow the AGP 1.0 or AGP 2.0 standards. These slots have key positions so that
you cannot put an AGP 3.3-V card in an AGP 1.5-V slot or vice versa. The third slot is a
universal slot that can accommodate 3.3-V or 1.5-V cards. All three slots are 2.9 inches wide
and have 132 pins, although some pins are not used. Figure 3-19 shows a motherboard with
an older AGP 3.3-V slot. Notice how the keyed 3.3-V break in the slot is near the back side
of the motherboard where expansion cards are bracketed to the case.
Another AGP standard, called AGP Pro, has provisions for a longer slot. This 180-pin
slot has extensions on both ends that contain an additional 20 pins on one end and
28 pins on the other end, to provide extra voltage for a high-end AGP video card that
consumes more than 25 watts of power. These wider slots might be keyed to 3.3 V or
