Two totally different things with no connection to each other. The only connection is that they are associated with vido displays.
VGA = Video Gtaphic Array. Analog graphics standard introduced with the IBM PS/2 series. Backwards compatible with EGA at the BIOS level, but provides higher resolutions. Supports a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels in 16 colors out of a palette of 262,144 colors.
AGP = Accelerated Graphics Port. An interface specification from Intel that enables 3-D graphics to display quickly on personal computers. AGP is based on PCI, but is designed especially for the high throughput requirements of 3-D graphics. Rather than using the PCI bus for graphics data, AGP introduces a dedicated point-to-point channel so that the graphics controller can directly access main memory.
SO VGA is a display standard. AGP is a method of conecting the display hardware.
