AGP port question

I believe this question has been asked before, and I believe the answer was no. I don't recall the exact reasoning, but I think it had to do with bandwidth limitation and priority in the system. Plus, as a second video card is usually only used for a dual monitor setup, and you wouldn't be able to run 2 different 3d applications at the same time.

Of course, I could be totally wrong, so don't take much stock in my answer.
 
I was thinking about that too. I sure hope they firgure out how to do that. Imagine a dual AMD processor computer with dual ATi Radeon 10000's and 4 gigs of RAM....*drool*
 
Its b/c agp is a PORT, not a bus. Therefore, to allow for more then one port, you'd have to change the architecture of the chipset.
 
Look how many traces the AGP port takes. To fit 2, you would need like a 12 layer motherboard, a new chipset, etc. I am pretty sure you can just use a geforce dual head and get 2 accelerated monitors, why would you want anything else?
