Elmer - RE: "Sure it does. AGP doesn't sit on the front side bus."

All right, professor. Teach me.

"Intel's engineers found out with AGP they needed to go to a
source synchronous clock to achieve the 133MHz data rate. The
Pentium style Socket7 bus interface doesn't have a SS clock not is
it a point to point port like AGP and the K7 memory port."

First of all, if AGP doesn't sit on the front side bus, does have its own connection to the chipset?

Secondly, how is the AGP data transfered? Over its own data path? Or does AGP data not need to go to the chipset, and it can access RAM directly?

Thanks a bunch!
