Other Uses for an AGP Slot?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gfx-cards-have-gone-PCIx dept.

SleepyHappyDoc asks: "AGP seems to be going the way of the dinosaur, but there's still a lot of slots on legacy motherboards out there. If you don't have need for the graphical advantages of AGP (say, on a headless server), what else could you use the AGP slot for? Could the advantages of AGP over PCI be leveraged in a use other than graphics cards?"

    Only in IT could something that was state-of-the-art five years ago and a clear industry standard even a couple of years ago possibly be described as "vintage" today. :-)

    Leverage is not a verb. Please stop using it as such. See the article posted today about loss of literacy.
