A.7 PCI will continue to be the main general purpose system I/O bus. The Accelerated Graphics Port interface has been designed specifically for dedicated use by graphics controllers, and is not intended to replace PCI. PCI will migrate to faster and wider versions as the bandwidth needs of PCI I/O functions exceed the capabilities of the 133MB/s, 32-bit, 33MHz version. The Accelerated Graphics Port is designed specifically for point-to-point graphics components. It is physically separated from the PCI bus and it uses a separate connector.
