For an AGP 8x bus to be saturated the system has to be capable of pulling data from the main RAM and forwarding it to the AGP bus at ~2.1Gbps. in theory you can do this on PC2100 RAM (aka DDR266) but this is increadably unlikly to happen as it relies on the RAM perofrming at 100% efficiency all the time, it usually doesn't even peak at that. Also the chipset has to be forwarding the data efficiently. When you add in dropepd and corrup packets of data and the fact that other parts of the system need the RAM as well then you don't get anywhere near 2.1Gbps throughput
