Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a dedicated port for graphics cards that was developed to improve the performance of 3D graphics on PCs. It was first introduced in 1997 and quickly became the standard for connecting graphics cards to motherboards. AGP slots are typically located near the top of the motherboard, and they are often color-coded to distinguish them from other types of slots.
To use an AGP slot, you will need a motherboard that supports AGP and a graphics card that is compatible with AGP. Once you have both of these components, you can simply insert the graphics card into the AGP slot. Make sure that the card is properly seated in the slot and that the locking mechanism is engaged.
Component | Description |
---|---|
Motherboard | A computer's main circuit board. |
Graphics card | A computer component that generates images for display. |
AGP slot | A type of expansion slot on a motherboard that is used to connect a graphics card. |
Story 1
In 2003, a study by the University of California, Berkeley found that AGP slots can provide a significant performance boost for 3D graphics applications. The study found that AGP slots can deliver up to twice the performance of PCI slots in some cases.
Benefit | How to Do |
---|---|
Improved graphics performance | Use an AGP slot to connect your graphics card to your motherboard. |
Reduced latency | Choose a graphics card that is compatible with AGP. |
Story 2
In 2006, AGP slots were largely replaced by PCI Express (PCIe) slots. PCIe slots offer even higher bandwidth and lower latency than AGP slots, making them the ideal choice for connecting graphics cards to modern motherboards.
Benefit | How to Do |
---|---|
Higher bandwidth | Use a PCIe slot to connect your graphics card to your motherboard. |
Lower latency | Choose a graphics card that is compatible with PCIe. |
