How do you spell AGP 4x? .... Cubedeveloper.intel.com starts off: The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a dedicated interface on the PC platform that enables high-performance graphics and full-motion video on mainstream PCs. The AGP interface, positioned between the PC's chip set and graphics controller, significantly increases the bandwidth available to a graphics accelerator (current peak bandwidth of 528 MB/s). It also helps to alleviate the cost pressure associated with a growing need for large and expensive dedicated graphics memories by leveraging a PC's main memory, in addition to local graphics memory. --------------------------- Ends: You are invited to attend the AGP Plugfest in Milpitas, California, February 10-13, 1998. Due to the great attendance at the last AGP Plugfest in Taiwan, the testing schedule has been extended. The Plugfest is an interoperability event intended to bring together manufacturers of AGP graphics controllers, graphics cards, motherboards and system OEMs to test card and system compatibility. The Plugfest includes several training sessions to explain test methodology and highlight what's new with AGP. Testing sessions are private, one hour per OEM. The tests are designed to validate hardware and software functionality in a noncompetitive environment. Additional test teams will be available to validate electrical and mechanical specs and BIOS settings. A suite will be available for on-site debugging. For more information about the Plugfest, including AGP Implementors' Forum Membership, registration and hotel information, please visit the AGP IF web site. Please note that you must be a member of the AGP Implementors' Forum to attend. You must register by January 19, 1998. Also check this out...agpforum.org
