Then why have they been disabled in most mother boards?


They haven't. The features are THERE, they're just not turned on.


Then if they are not turned on.Why?


How could you disable them when they're an integral part of the silicon die,
huh?


Because some boards have deliberately hidden the options to enable
them.Hmmmm...........

FW's and SB are features that have to be both enabled in the AGP card
and the BIOS, AS WELL AS having support in software (chipset drivers,
video drivers) to work correctly. Many AGP card BIOS's come with one or
both of them disabled. VGA Bios utilities sometimes allow you to modify
them and reflash.

Enabling Fast Writes by force with some tweak-util
on my GF3 Ti200 just makes games run a little bit
slower. SBA enabled the whole system crashes after
a few seconds I start a 3D-application. So no reason
to keep those enabled here...

Rivatuner says that my MB supports both functions,
but GF3 Ti200 doesn't. Funny, if someone's normal
(older) GF3 supports those?
