Performance NOTE: The AGP version of the Radeon graphics accelerator will deliver significantly better performance for EV7 systems because the AGP bus is faster than the PCI bus; plus the AGP accelerator does not contend with other adapters on the AGP bus (each AGP bus has only one adapter slot). The Radeon AGP graphics accelerator delivers about the same performance on EV7 and EV68 systems. However, the Radeon PCI graphics accelerator delivers noticeably better performance on EV68 systems compared to EV7 systems because the EV7 systems' hardware implementation of "Programmable I/O" is not as fast as the EV68 implementation.
