I need help if anyone can... I have a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP mainboard, with a Via VT8377 Apollo KT400 chipset. My graphics adapter is an Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4600 (MSI). It appears that this setup is capable of running with 8x AGP but my system is only running at 2x AGP... I've done everything I can think of to change the speed including updating mainboard, and graphics drivers and bios. Ive been through my bios options completely and I can find no setting to change anything about my AGP setup. please help me or educate me.

Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-7VAXP - Via VT8377 Apollo KT400 chipset
CPU: Athlon XP 2400+ (Thoroughbred-B)
Memory: 1535 MB unbuffered PC-3200 DDR SDRAM (Kingston)
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4600 (AGP)(MSI)
OS: Win XP Pro

It does appear that your MB has no jumper or BIOS setting to select 8X AGP.
However, the GF4 TI 4600 runs at only 2X or 4X AGP, and not 8X.
And there's very little real world difference between 2X AGP and 4X.

Are your games performing fast enough with the 2X setting?

My brother has exactly the same computer as mine, and he is running at 4x AGP. I can't find a difference in our setups. Maybe I'm just obsessive, but I like to know the why of things. :P My games are running ok, it's just that not knowing why it is this way is making me nuts...

please help somebody... :)

I was talking to my brother and he had updated his mobo with an updated bios but he had never updated mine, and I thought he had... I updated my bios and I'm now running 4x AGP. Thanks for your help though.

You're welcome.
Glad to hear that you got things fixed, and thanks for posting back with the solution.
