Abstract
A method and system for enhancing graphics processing through selected placement of at least one graphics operand in main memory. The system includes a graphics controller in communication with system memory through a dedicated graphics bus such as an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) bus. This allows texture maps, alpha blending data and other graphics information to be contained in system memory without degradation of system performance.
