AGP bus expansion for Amiga?

[commodorejohn]

Outside of the SAM boards, there's no point in even having AGP, because there's no way an Amiga CPU would even come close to using AGP levels of bandwidth.

You can get PCI versions of most any AGP card, though. I've even gotten PCI versions of PCI express graphics cards.

But how many work with the Amiga?

That's a good question, but that's a software issue, not a hardware one. An AGP slot would just add a whole new slew of cards that aren't supported, and allow supported cards to be accessed faster than the CPU actually can manage...

[commodorejohn]

No AGP on my SAM or on any other one I've ever owned, used or seen.

Actually, I meant that the SAM boards are the only ones with enough processor horsepower to potentially benefit from AGP, not that they had it. (And even that's a definite "maybe.")

USB didn't replace ISA, PCI did. USB replaced the parallel and serial ports for connecting external peripherals, though in some cases it did alleviate the need for a separate controller card.
