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 with the mere 132MB/s (at 33MHz
bus speed) that you get with the PCI bus.
Q: Does my operating system support AGP?
A: Currently, only Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 will have built-in
support for AGP. Some AGP cards require Windows 95 OSR2.1 or a
special driver from Intel. Please check with your graphics vendor for
more details.
