That's nitpicking, and you know it. :P
Recall, the frontside bus is at least 100MHz and 64bits wide. That's
800MBytes/second. There is a separate bus for AGP, memory, and PCI, so
it's inaccurate to imply that these devices are all sharing the
limited PCI bandwidth. Recall that the north bridge, memory, and AGP
controller are not taking PCI bandwidth, but rather frontside bus
bandwidth.
