I just purchased an ASUS P3V4X M/B and an ASUS GeForce 2 V7700. I have flashed the M/B bios, installed the lastest VIA drivers for the M/B and the 5.30 drivers for the GeForce2. I also installed the VIA 133a hack to enable AGP4x but when I try to enable "Fast Writes" in the bios my system locks up just as Windows starts to boot up. I am using the dip switches to manually setup the CPU/AGP settings. I did notice a slight improvement in my 3DMark2000 scores with the hack installed.
Does Fast Writes have to be enabled for AGP 4x to work? How can I verify if AGP is running at 1x, 2x or 4x? Any suggestions?
