Yeah I was just thinking about the actual connection of AGP with my previous comment^. Couldn't they just use that same form but still have a faster transfer rate? kinda like usb 1.0 too 2.0 or does it physically need more pins. I'm just trying to understand why AGP wouldn't just design a faster transfer rate and still use the same type of connection and be able to use 4x and 8x cards. It still means making a new type of mobo but still. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm trying to learn lol
