Ali, AGP is not a bus. It is a port. As in Accelerated Graphics Port.

Re: "Don't you think that some details of the AGP host protocol might be defined as "up to system designer to implement", and apparently the important details of intel's implementation (upon which the software drivers might be dependent) were left without proper clarifications..."

No. I don't think it's necessary to make a big deal about this. VIA just had a bug in their chipset, that's all. They fixed it. Case closed.

Then how did Acer/ALI (your name sake, sucker !) implement their AGP port on their Super Suckit 7 chip set?

And how did VIA know how to fix their AGP flaw ?
