<Would Quake benefit from usage of AGP or AGP2, with higher data through-put?> AGP2 doesn't exist yet. EP

Would Quake benefit from usage of AGP or AGP2 Johnny boy, When are you going to stop running your mouth? What happened to those Socket 7 designs you had promised? Is Cherry Corp. secretly working on these designs? I thought the company is on non PC sector. Someone should check with the company and make sure you (John Y. Wang, designer of Cherry Corp.) get proper credits. Thanks for the insider tips. I will load up on Cherry.

John Wang, <where are the data/address/control pins for AGP(2) come from on a Socket-7? As I understand, ...> As usual, you understand NOTHING. The AGP(2) pins come from the system chipset, via an additional PCI-to-PCI bridge embedded in the North bridge. In ALL cases, Slot or Socket. Go travel in your past and take few classes in electronics in order to understand chipset spacifications.

Time Traveller: <<Would Quake benefit from usage of AGP or AGP2, with higher data through-put?>> Elmer, Ali and Kenneth have already answered your questions but I will add a few points here. MSFT must write the software to access the AGP port. Otherwise there are no benefit to AGP. With software support AGP will be much faster. AGP is in the chipset not the CPU. AGP chipsets allow the system memory to do the texturing (image bitmap) while the K6-3D instruction set improves the calculation of the 3-D image. Maxwell
