What does AGP 8x and PCI Express 16x stand for?
- Thread starter jancz3rt
- Start date
-AGP has a transfer speed of 266Mbytes/s and naturally AGP8X has a speed of 2126MByte/s
-PCI-X is a 64bit 133Mhz bus which is backwards compatible with PCI-Conventional. PCI-X-133 come with a bandwidth of about 1GB/sec and naturally PCI-X-533 comes with bandwidth of 4.3GB/sec. PCI-X is undergoing a lot of changes and hopefully soon PCI-X2 will be out. Have a look at http://www.pcisig.com/specifications for more
- PCI Express (aka 3GIO) is a serial protocol capable of 2.5Gb/sec (note the capitalization) with data-flow possible in full-duplex. By parallellising the serial transfers (elec. eng. students might relate this to the concept of "parallel loads"), there can be up t 16 transfers for 8GB net (4GB each way)

thanx
Lol. I totally forgot about posting this and jsut remembered. Now I would like to ask whether a new version of the AGP would come out? What do you guys think. I think not cause it would simply become impossible for manufacturers to allocate their efforts in two seperate directions....

Why would it belong in the motherboards forum? You are dealing with the speed of a video card.

4W4K3 ROCKS!!! You must understand that some 15 year olds seem like they know everything, but here is the point, you must learn first then make judgement.

because he was not clear.. can you say for certain that he's talking about video cards? because it seems more too me that he's asking about the architecture of the slots on the motherboard of which you would plug in the videocard.. Plus does it really matter? I was only kidding.
Where the hell did that come from? better yet Y??
PS. I'm now at Computer Technician status!! WOOOOOT WOOOOT.. lol ;-)
