Measuring the Benefits of AGP

During Computex we saw photos of several Intel 925x boards equipped with both PCI Express and AGP slots. Since Intels new chipset doesnt offer simultaneous support for PCI-E and AGP, there was a serious question as to how Gigabyte and ECS (the two manufacturers with boards on display) were accomplishing it.
At the time, I speculated to Tuan that one or both of the companies might have used an AGP connector on a PCI slot, as the only other solution would seem to be an AGP-to-PCI-Express bridge chip that left only one of the slots useable at a time, the latter option being only a proposed theory, as no such design exists to our knowledge).
