Hello,

In AIDA32 in the Chipset overview (AGP properties) there is mentioned;

Fast-Write Available, Deactivated
Side Band Adressing Available, Activated

How do i avtivate the Fast-Write?
I'm sure i have the correct drivers for my ASUS V8460 Ultra deluxe.
In the bios i have USCW enabled.

It's a BIOS feature, FW, just like SBA.

I'm sure i have the correct drivers for my ASUS V8460 Ultra deluxe.


You would be the only one sure.

In the bios i have USCW enabled.


Uncached Speculative Write Combining? Big words for someone twiddling his
thumbs with Fast Writes.


Anyone?
thx


These are setings to make slow video faster, there was a day, not too long
ago, video cards needed lil tricks and tweaks to make them fast. If you have
a modern system (read greater than 1.3Ghz) and a modern video card (read
greater then GeForce3) all this is moot. FW, SBA, USWC, it's all shillings,
pounds and pence.

These were features initially introduced back with the first Geforce to
be used with some of the latter P3 boards and is now included with
almost any motherboard. They used to allow direct communication between
the CPU and the graphics chipset, but now they're depricated and were
hardly ever implemented right by either card manufacturers or
motherboard makers. Turn both off for stability concerns.
