Talk:Accelerated Graphics Port
a ge-force FX 5200 or radeon 9200SE? which is better
A picture like that in the PCI article qould be good
http://www.gcsextreme.com/agpfaq.htm gives me a 404 error.
The article does not mention AGP 2.0 nor AGP 3.0.
The article does not talk about compatibility (e.g. can I put an AGP 4x card into an AGP 2x slot?).
The article does not talk about visual identification of AGP cards from the features of the connector.
- The article is also missing the advanced features of 2.0 and above (FastWrites, etc).
- However, I doubt anyone else here is going to expand id. Ah well, time to take some photos of my motherboard and graphics card... the latter can be dumped into Radeon as well...

Incorrect information about clock frequency in AGP 4X, and 8X modes
In the section titled `Newer Versions of AGP' it is stated that AGP 4X operating at 133MHz double pumped and 8X at 266MHz double pumped. This is incorrect. All AGP modes run at the same frequency, i.e., 66MHz. In 4X 4 32-bit data words are transferred per clock cycle. In 8X 8 32-bit data words are transferred per clock cycle. Note, it is essentially only the AD and CBE busses that are doing this. The PCI derived control signals are still running at the base 66MHz frequency.
The above can be verified by checking the AGP spec which should be available on Intel's web site.
