AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D
graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system
memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The univer-
sal AGP slot supports AGP 8x with up to 2.13GB/sec. bandwidth
and AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics
applications. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and bet-
ter graphics to your PC.
