<As usual, you understand NOTHING. The AGP(2) pins come

Ali, there is no AGP2. It doesn't exist (yet). If you are refering to the 2x mode sideband signals of AGP1, you are incorrect in calling it a PCI to PCI bridge. No bridging takes place. AGP has direct access to memory and the host bus independent of PCI.
