Re: AGP Texturing-

Sigh... Why do I have to keep reposting this link? Don't people get it? AGP Texturing is a myth created by Intel. A falsehood. A lie. A "Lewynski". A piece of marketing hype.

Even at AGP 4x (which doesn't exist yet) it won't work. And even if it did, it'd just slow down the CPU's access to memory. Most systems are CPU bound at this point anyway. On-board memory is faster and (now) just as cheap rendering (get it?) AGP Texturing useless. Dem's the relevant facts.
