Crikey, I'd forgotten about AGP, though that was specifically for graphics cards (as was VLB) rather than being general purpose.

- logbiscuitswave 6y agoI remember having both AGP and VLB graphics cards at one time or another. Definitely got the short end of that stick when PCI came along and became the de facto standard. I do seem to recall for a short period of time there were some motherboards with both PCI and AGP slots for those who really needed that level of interoperability.
- phibz 6y agoAGP superceded PCI for graphics. It was based on PCI and was a dedicated link that received multiple increases in speed over its lifetime. AGP, 2x, 4x, 8x. Etc. Boards with PCI and AGP were very common. You could even find ones with ISA, PCI, and AGP.
