A: AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a new bus architecture for 3D graphics.
The AGP slot eliminates the PCI bandwidth bottleneck by bypassing the
PCI interface and accessing the system memory directly. Currently, the AGP
supports 1X and 2X modes, which yield bandwidths of 264MB/s (at 33MHz
bus speed) and 533MB/s (at 66MHz bus speed), respectively. Compare this
