The Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) is an I/O memory management unit used by AGP and PCI Express graphics cards, through which textures, polygon meshes and other data is loaded directly from the computer's physical memory utilizing DMA. An AGP slot (maroon, although the color is usually brown) and two PCI slots. ... PCI Express (formerly known as 3GIO for 3rd Generation I/O, not to be mistaken with PCI-X) is an implementation of the PCI computer bus that uses existing PCI programming concepts and communications standards, but bases it on a much faster serial communications system. ...
