RE: newbie questions for amd64



AGP (and PCI-X) are in the chipsets, not the processor.  AMD 8151 is one of the AGP chipsets available, and the AMD 8131 is the matching PCI-X chipset.  They are all connected via Hypertransport links.

right now. It looks like neither the VIA K8T800 or NVidia nForce3 AGPs
are supported from the 2.6 kernel ATM.

The AGP is on the processor AFAIK.  The closed NVidia drivers support it
OK (I run a geforce4 on mine) but the 2.6 kernel support is a bit fubar
- - it just crashes when you try to go into X.
