Plaz, thanks for the response. I don't know if I made myself clear though. The bandwidth you stated is for AGP in general, not just AGP texturing. Why can't somebody come up with a solution (maybe even at the driver level) that's just as good as AGP texturing if it's necessary to move textures from main memory. I mean, is AGP texturing the ONLY way to move from textures from main memory. Of course not. Is there something special at the hardware level that gives AGP an advantage vs. a software only solution? If it isn't, then why are we (reviewers) making a big deal about it? Pat
