ok AGP has been hanging around by a thread ever scice the 7 series cards came out and i think it's time to settle the qeustion, Keep AGP or Kill it. i found a website that told me the specs of AGP, and had to go to toms hardware for PCI-E specs
AGP specs:
AGP (1x): 66MHz clock, 8 bytes/clock, Bandwidth: 266MB/s [3.3V or 1.5V signal swing]
AGP 2x: 133MHz clock, 8 bytes/clock, Bandwidth: 533MB/s [3.3V or 1.5V signal swing]
AGP 4x: 266MHz clock, 16 bytes/clock, Bandwidth: 1066MB/s [1.5V signal swing]
AGP 8x: 533MHz clock, 32 bytes/clock, Bandwidth: 2.1GB/s [0.8V signal swing], still uses 1.5 volt motherboard power
PCI-E specs:
Although the 7800GS is most likely to be the last AGP card ever made, do you think they should still produce AGP mobo's and cards after a year or 2 from now, or just make every mobo and video card with PCI-E in about a year or 2?
