'''AGP Inline Memory Module''' ('''AIMM''') also known as '''Graphics Performance Accelerator''' ('''GPA''') is an [[expansion card]] that fits in the [[Accelerated Graphics Port|AGP]] slot of PC motherboards based on some intel chipsets with onboard graphics. It is intended to be a mid-level cost solution between shared graphics memory and dedicated graphics memory found on more expensive discrete AGP expansion card. AIMM cards are special memory modules that are used as dedicated video memory (display cache) to store [[Z-buffering]] and they usually have 4MB of 32-bit wide [[Synchronous dynamic random access memory|SDRAM]].
