PADANGPLAY RTP SLOT A x16 PCIe slot can accommodate far more data per second than current AGP 8x connections allow. In addition, a x16 PCIe slot can supply 75 watts of power to the video card, as opposed to the 25watt/42 watt AGP 8x connection. Using the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot for video cards removes a substantial amount of traffic, but not enough to compensate for faster processors and I/O devices. ATI's technology focuses on image quality and does not require identical video cards, although high-performance systems must have identical cards.|Urban Transportation Development Corporation
