AGP Fast Write

[Bretton30]

Can anyone explain exactly what this is. I've been to every AGP Faq site I can find, and nobody really touches on this. Is it a performance gain, should I just leave it disabled blah blah etc..etc..

Need lots more system info. OS, version, video adapter mfr for a start.

Is this a BIOS setup option?

Yes it's a bios option(Enabled/Disabled). I was just wondering what it actually means.

If you need system info. I've got a PIII 866, 384MB PC133 Ram, and an AGP GeForce 2 Pro 64MB DDR, oh and a Matsonic Mother Board

Two of the best in-depth treatments of BIOS setup options are here (http://www.rojakpot.com/Speed_Demonz/BIOS_Guide/BIOS_Guide_Index.htm) and here (http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/pcinfo/hardware/bios_sg/bios_sg.htm).

Poke around in those, and you might get some leads. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

Somtimes you can highlight the option on the BIOS setup page and then press the [F1] key to get some help.

Have you checked here? http://www.reactorcritical.com/white-nvidia-agpfs/white-nvidia-agpfs.shtml

Basically if your board and card are AGP 4x compatable then it may do something if the video drivers also support the function...

You guys did it. The reactorcritical page answered my question. And the
BIOS page answered another question I had about AGP Master 1WS Read, and
AGP Master 1WS Write. Appreciate it.
