The present invention comprises a smart retry system for agents in a computer system. The smart retry system of the present invention includes a master agent, a slave agent, an arbiter, and smart retry logic components, all adapted to be coupled to a bus. The bus permits agents coupled to the bus to communicate with the arbiter and other agents coupled to the PCI bus. The smart retry logic component of the present invention prevents a PCI master agent from accessing the bus for the purpose of attempting a retry transaction, until after the slave agent that issued the retry is ready.
