Re: AGP or PCI


Hi all again,

Finally I finded the root of my contradictions,
what happened is that my book only show two posibilities:

* or you use a PCI bus controller,
* or an AGP bus controller that replaces completelly the
PCI controller, yes, there is no PCI here.

actually, I believe my motherboard uses a scheme like the one showed
in picture 7.7 of the Mike's link, wich is clearly a different approach, and
seems to isolate the AGP mechanism to the video system, leaving the rest
connections to PCI ( I wonder why to keep PCI, but this is secondary item ),
but well, I need some time to understand and verify things related.

thanks and have a nice day, Carlos.
