A method and system for data transmission in data processing systems, especially in the context of data processing systems utilizing the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interface standard. The method and system provide an AGP-enabled device wherein is contained a command queue. The AGP-enabled device is connected to and communicates with an AGP-enabled bridge through and over a data bus. The AGP-enabled bridge has an AGP-enabled device mimicking unit. In one instance, the AGP-enabled device is an AGP-enabled graphics controller, the command queue is a graphics controller command queue, the AGP-enabled bridge is an AGP-enabled Northbridge, and the data bus is an AGP interconnect. In this instance, the graphics controller has a graphics controller full signal unit which controls and utilizes the PIPE# signal of the AGP-enabled graphics controller to indicate whether the graphics controller command queue can accept data. Further in this instance, the AGP-enabled Northbridge has an AGP-enabled graphics controller mimicking unit. In another instance, the AGP-enabled Northbridge has a CPU mimicking unit.
