4.3.2 AGP CONFIGURATION

AGP bus operations require the configuration of certain parameters involving system memory access by the AGP graphics adapter. The AGP bus interface is configured as a PCI device integrated within the north bridge (MCH, device 1) component. The AGP function is, from the PCI bus perspective, treated essentially as a PCI/PCI bridge and configured through PCI configuration registers (Table 4-6). Configuration is accomplished by BIOS during POST.

NOTE: Configuration of the AGP bus interface involves functions 0 and 1 of the MCH. Function 0 registers (listed in Table 3-4) include functions that affect basic control (GART) of the AGP.
