Accelerated Graphics Port low-cost 3D {graphics cards} faster access to {main memory} on {personal computers} than the usual PCI bus. AGP dynamically allocates the PC's normal RAM to store the screen image and to support {texture mapping}, {z-buffering} and {alpha blending}. Intel has built AGP into a {chipset} for its {Pentium II} microprocessor. AGP cards are slightly longer than a PCI card. AGP operates at 66 {MHz}, doubled to 133 MHz, compared with PCI's 33 Mhz. AGP allows for efficient use of {frame buffer} 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)}.
