   Accelerated Graphics Port
  
      (AGP) A bus specification by {Intel} which gives
      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.
