AGP Errata Found in New Intel Chipsets

" The first of the chipsets is the long awaited "Placer" (7505) chipset. In a note on the Intel website, the firm describes two errata for the chipset – the first is that AGP signals do not meet the AGP 3.0 specification, while the second is that the AGP Prefetch Cache has to be disabled."
The “second” chipset mentioned is the E7205 "Granite Bay" chipset.

It is uncertain as to what kind of performance hit this will cause in systems using these chipsets but one thing is certain, early adoption of AGP 3.0 isn't going very smoothly.
