Overclocking the AGP bus appears to be the most logical step in improving
the performance of the AGP bus since it brings about a substantial increase
in AGP bandwidth. For example, overclocking the AGP bus to 112MHz increases
the AGP bus' maximum bandwidth to 900MB/s (using the AGP2X transfer mode),
which is way over the usual AGP2X's maximum bandwidth of 534MB/s.
On the other hand, sidebanding improves AGP performance indirectly by
removing the need for the main AD lines of the AGP bus to service AGP
requests and commands. Instead, the AD lines are reserved for data transfers
only. Both methods increase practical AGP bandwidth so which offers more?
Let's find out."
