AGP was created specifically for graphics cards, allowing them a shorter path to the CPU to make them more efficient. Unfortunately, PCI-E technology progressed faster and little was done to the AGP slot, so manufacturers moved away from AGP as the PCI technology surpassed it. AGP had the potential to be much better because it was much more intigrated with the CPU
