AGP



Hi,

This subject has been mentioned before, but I don't think there's
been any real summation that could help in making a purchasing
decision. I'm about to build a new system and with all the new MB's
offering AGP slots, I'd like to know if there's any real support for
AGP in Linux. I'm considering the ATI All in Wonder (mainly because
of the built-in TV tuner - supported by Linux ????) or one of the
Matrox boards. I tend to think that advice like - set it up like the
PCI version and it'll probably work - is not the way to go. I've been
told that the use of AGP is supposed to improve throughput, so I find
it hard to believe that using the PCI settings would utilize the
hardware as it's supposed to.
