Default Best BIOS settings for Soyo Motherboard & FX5900SP video card

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the best BIOS settings
(without overclocking) to best utilize the video card. I understand that I'm
kinda limited by the AGP 4x limit, but still.... there has to be some settings
that I should be using in the BIOS. The setup is:

* Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra Platinum
* Athlon XP 2200+
* 512MB of RAM
* MSI FX5900SP

I assume that I should have AGP fast write enabled, but what else? What about
the AGP & P2P Bridge Control screen?

If it works.. dont mess with it... AGP4x isn't much slower than AGP
8x... okay, you may lose 2-3fps.

SOYO boards are flaky... so seriously, dont mess with it.

Remember when real men used Real computers!?
When 512K of video RAM was a lot!

Most places will tell you to disable fast writes, including ATI.
Set AGP speed to normal.
As far as that goes set most settings to performance defaults and
enable/disable only what you need to make the box work.
