Description

AGP

Acronym for Accelerated Graphics Port. A high-performance bus specification designed for fast, high-quality display of 3D and video images. This high performance can be achieved due to the point to point connection between the graphics controller and main system memory. This connection enables AGP-capable display adapters and compatible chip sets to transfer video data directly between system memory and adapter memory, to display images more quickly and smoothly than they can be displayed when the information must be transferred over the system's primary (PCI) bus.
