As a hobby I want to design and develop AGP hardware, may be my own graphics card, one day :D . (I`m very interested in electronics.) But I couldn`t find some info about AGP port , just a document on Intel`s website. But I can`t say I`ve understood it very well. Would you please make me know if there is any information about designing circuits that use AGP port.
Thanks in advance.

is all I could find that wasn't just specs and stuff....I think you may want to lower your sights a little though, AGP card construction is not for amateurs, otherwise there'd be a helluva lot more Graphics Cards out today. Try PCB making etc instead.....
Firstly, I want to thank for your interest, CyberSurfer. I know designing an AGP card is not just a basic work. But there`s a reason that makes me interested in this subject. Some days ago I `ve obtained a graphics card powered by a GeForce 2 GPU. All I can see on it are some SMT resistors, diodes, capacitors, a Conexant Bt869 microchip, 4 SDRAMs and GeForce 2 GPU.
Eveything is done by the GPU.
I don`t think this is an impossible thing. But may be I`m wrong. :confused:
And, in that case I remember a website about electronics giving out the circuit designs of complex devices including PC components. But I couldn`t have found the URL again.
Sure man...I'll take a hybrid NVIDIA/ATI/3DFX card that comes with a watercooler, 256MB of 5Ghz memory, and a 8Ghz core on an AGP 16x bus...
:D
You need a new motherboard though! For the 16x AGP!
Yeah well give me one of those too :DQuote:

don't you need a clean room to make these kind of electronics?
hmm the real question is though, who in thier right mind would want to test it, i mean
"oops! instead of getting voltage from the CPU i just sent voltage the wrong way through it"
lol, true. you could majorly fux0r your system if you didn't know what you were doing. then there is the problem of getting drivers for it.
