hardware (AGP) A bus specification by
Intel which gives
AGP dynamically allocates the PC's normal RAM to store the
microprocessor. AGP cards are slightly longer than a PCI
card.
AGP operates at 66
MHz, doubled to 133 MHz, compared with
memory, thereby helping 2D graphics performance as well.
AGP provides a coherent memory management design which allows
scattered data in system memory to be read in rapid bursts.
AGP reduces the overall cost of creating high-end graphics
subsystems by using existing system memory.
