Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

 
 
An industry-standard expansion bus found in most modern PCs, specifically designed for graphics cards. It is a faster alternative to the PCI bus and allows graphics programs to store large amounts of data temporarily in the computer's system memory. The speed at which a GPU can access and use the information across the AGP bus has a large impact on graphics performance. NVIDIA's GPUs are fully optimized to take advantage the fastest AGP speed currently available.
