The EP-4BDAE is based on the Intel 845 chipset, an AGPset offering a 400MHz bus clock, supporting a single-socket 478 Pentium 4 processor. The AGP slot is compatible with any AGP compliant adapter providing an immediate doubling (or quadruple) in the maximum available 2D/3D graphics bandwidth without reducing performance of other PCI cards. AGP technology also allows Virtual Reality applications to use as much texture buffer space as they need without expensive card or hardware upgrades.
