Yes, I agree there could be more slots. I think Intel thought that the
only thing that needed a faster, lower latency bus was 3D graphics. I
think that high speed network interface cards like gigabit ethernet
could also use a slot.

AGP is meant to allow a card to use system memory, instead of having to
add more memory to the card. AGP allows the card's processor (ie. video
processor) to bypass the CPU and directly access main memory. This
allows a CPU to do more important things with its time.

I just thought your experiences might have found some extra things I
didn't know about. I am very 'easy'. :)
