Was it a competitor? I thought it was obsoleted by PCIE?
I dont think it was ever a competitor. At least that was not how I remembered it because every one knew PCI-E will take over, especially when Intel is behind both technology.
Yes, I think "predecessor" is a more apt term than competitor. AGP was introduced in 1997 and was pretty ubiquitous for almost a decade. While the first PCIe graphics cards started coming out around 2004, AGP cards continued to be released for several years later until they were phased out completely.
Sorry for little off top - do you have tested by any chance 7940HS against stable diffusion? How does it perform?
I haven't but I know there are writeups I've seen online that should be easy to find of people using SD w/ APUs.
Imagine having used PCI video cards. And VLB. And ISA before that.
