Introduction to AGP-8X

The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) was developed as a high-performance graphics interface. It alleviates the PCI graphics bottleneck by providing high bandwidth throughput and direct access to system memory. The new AGP3.0 specification adds an 8X throughput and direct access to system memory. The new AGP3.0 specification adds an 8X mode definition, which doubles the maximum data transfer rate from the previous high reached with AGP-4X by doubling the amount of data transferred per AGP bus cycle.
