GA-7N400 Pro 2 - nvidia drivers
Sorry if this is OT for this newsgroup - i have visited the ati newsgroup,
and the general theme seems to point towards the maotherboard chipset drivers.... Had to recently re-install windows XP (Home). I have a radeon 9800 Pro graphics card, but now notice that smartgart is always off (it was always set to 8x before the re-install), and I can't set AGP to on let alone to 8x When I try to install nvidia chipset drivers from the gigabyte website, Windows XP locks up on boot-up. any ideas? TIA Mark |

Because of the way the some ATi Radeons works (including your 9800 pro)
turning on fast-writes via SmartGart firstly gives no performance benefit, but does detract from the overall system stability. If you still want to update the motherboard drivers though, I'd suggest you visit: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp and select Platform.nForce drivers and Unified.
