Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP or A.G.P.)
Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and
demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the personal
computer become more and more popular, these demands will only increase. This
will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers. Lowering these
costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation behind AGP. By
providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between the video card and
the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures for quite sometime.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems opera-
tions and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of fan.
