Well, considering that most cards with AGP are basically the PCI card with the interface hacked to support AGP, the speed difference is minimal.. Although when true AGP cards come out them some improvements may be had, probably in the line of more CPU left over, because blits take less time.. Also having a 3D card use main memory as texture RAM (with a local cache :) could be tatsy =) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
