I agree. I can't believe you were called an idiot for this. I have a computer in my basement that is now 8 years old. Its a P2 450 mhz, has 512 SD ram, a 16 MB Video Card, and even ISA slots. This computer has an AGP slot. Does it really make sense for a computer bought 4 years later to not have an AGP slot? I remember when I was doing co-op at my high school in grade 12, the computers (in a school...) had AGP slots.
As well, and correct me if I'm wrong, but does the bus connect the cards and, well, other stuff connected to the motherboard to the RAM and CPU? If anything I'd think the cache would be the place for a bottleneck (notice the cache sizes have been increasing?)
