Comment: i've got this mobo Asus A7N8X Deluxe which supports fast write and 8X AGP, i have a ATI Radeon 9700 pro installed on it which also supports 8X AGP. but with the newest catalyst driver installed it's SMARTGART autotest thing keep setting the AGP speed and fast write OFF
i would change the setting to 4X or 8X and after reboot it just goes back to off
i can understand fast write being off since it may make my system unstable, i can even understand AGP being turned to 4X cuz of my slow Athlon XP1700+ for whatever reason, but i'm pretty sure 4X it can handle because before a recent upgrade of mobo my videocard was running at 4X
so what's up with SMARTGART? why's it turning off everything? does ATI cards comes in top hardware quality only to have their software disabling the goodies?
insights on this stupidity, anyone?

Reply: (edit)Your post is confusing.... Your CPU doesn't effect the AGP speed, the motherborad settings do...do you have 8X & fast write enabled in the BIOS?
