Accelerated Graphics Port
(A-G-P)
A design specification that defines how a graphics chip interacts with the computer's main memory. Also, a port dedicated to video data that runs twice as fast as the PCI bus. Allows large 3D graphics and DVD-ROM files to run more smoothly and quickly by taking the load off of the main processor. While few 3D applications other than games are currently available, many are in development.
