The best model would be to chuck the AGP/PCI Express interface on the
board and have a hyperchannel instead. Hyperchannel provides full
cache consistency without all of these flushing problems. The GPU
really is another specialized CPU, give it a CPU class memory
interface.
You mean HyperTransport ? Well, PCI Express isn't far from that
neither...
