I was reading up on AGP here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/agp3.htm, and I have a question as to how to calculate the transfer rate of AGP 1.0, AGP 2.0, AGP Pro, etc.
The site explained that AGP 1.0 sends data in 1x mode for 266 MBps xfer rate with a 66 Mhz clock speed, while AGP 2.0 sends in 2x mode for 533 MBps at a 133 mhz clock speed. How are they calculating that? Don't you multiply 8 bits x 66 mhz to get the transfer rate?
Thanks.
