|
|
Both PCI and AGP are plug and play compatible
|
|
|
PCI runs at the same speed as memory bus
|
|
|
AGP runs at the same speed as memory bus
|
|
|
The PCTI bus is 16 bits wide while the AGP bus is 32 wide
|
Detailed explanation-1: -AGP makes multiple requests for data during a bus or memory access, while PCI makes one request, and does not make another until the data it requested has been transferred. AGP doesn’t share bandwidth with other devices, whereas the PCI bus does share bandwidth.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are adapters on the market making AGP cards work in PCI slots. Most likely you will have difficulties finding such an adapter more then 15 years after AGP and PCI were superseded by PCI-Express. AGP is simply a beefed up PCI exclusively bonded to the CPU (so no other devices share the resources of the AGP card).
Detailed explanation-3: -Key Difference: AGP stands for Accelerated Graphics Port. PCI Express stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect. PCI Express card is an advanced version of the PCI graphics card. AGP cards and PCI cards are placed in certain specific slots only.
Detailed explanation-4: -Characteristics of AGP It connects to the CPU and operates at the speed of the processor bus. It sends video information more quickly to the card for processing. It uses the main memory to hold 3D images.
