| Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) A bus specification by which gives low-cost 3D faster access to on than the usual PCI bus. AGP dynamically allocates the PC's normal RAM to store the screen image and to support , and . Intel has built AGP into a for its microprocessor. AGP cards are slightly longer than a PCI card. AGP operates at 66 , doubled to 133 MHz, compared with PCI's 33 Mhz. AGP allows for efficient use of 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. {AGP Implementors Forum AGP FAQ (http://www.agpforum.org/faq_ans.htm)}. {Specification (http://developer.intel.com/pc-supp/platform/agfxport/)}. {Intel AGP news (http://developer.intel.com/solutions/tech/agp.htm)}.
