I am using an older SlotA motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7ix) with a 700MHz Athlon and installed winXP with a Geforce2 gts vid card with 40.72 drivers.
I installed the AGP chipset driver from the manufacturers site but when i view the advanced nvidia graphics properties, it says Im running at 1X AGP. I KNOW the board supports 2x AGP and so does the video card. There isn't a place in BIOS (using the newest BIOS version) to change it.
How can I enable 2x AGP? Like I said: the BIOS has no place to set 1X or 2X. I am seeing some slowdowns in some older games that should not be there. I had the same games running with a different (but same generation/chipset) gateway motherboard with the GF2 gts and they ran better.
EDIT:
I just downloaded the AGP miniport drivers direct from AMD and give those a shot when I get home tonight. Maybe those are better than the ones at Gigabyte??
Quick extra question: Do you have to re-install video drivers if you change the AGP driver?
