I have a mother board with the onboard 8mb AGP shared memory. I installed the driver for thing and it worked, but there was no 3d.
It is supposed to be a 3d card. I have my grphics blaster riva tnt with 16 mb and it works fine. What i want to know is if the agp is faster than the pci and should i keep working on the agp to get it to work? any suggestions on getting the agp to be able to handle 3d since it is supposed to?

Hmmm... try using new drivers and install DirectX 7.

Supposly almost all AGP cards support 3D not as good as all the flavors of TNTs and Voodoos, but should work anyway. And yes AGP is faster than PCI. Well it should unless its an oldie/poor AGP card or a very good PCI video card.

I think the TNT would be better... check how your games and 3D apps work and look on each and then decide.
