IBM EP-8KTA specifications Accelerated Graphics Port AGP or A.G.P, Hardware Monitoring

EP-8KTA Introduction

The AMD Duron processor is derived from the AMD Athlon processor core. It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200MHz front side system bus, and enhanced 3DNow!™ technology. Although both processors are related, there are key differences. The AMD Athlon processor is targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory and higher clock speeds.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers. Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of fan.
