AGP
Video card connector
AGP stands for Accelerated Graphics Port, a specification for connecting graphics cards to computer motherboards.
Developed in the late 1990s, AGP provided faster data transfer than the PCI slots it replaced, enabling more detailed 3D graphics in games and applications.
AGP has since been superseded by PCI Express.
