My problem is that my graphics card will only run in 4x not 8x.
My system is based on the ASUS PC-DL Deluxe Dual Xeon Motherboard with
2 x 3.06Ghz CPUs & 8x AGP slop. I have 2 x 512Mb PC2700 (PC333)
Memory. 2 x 160Gb SATA Harddrives (Raid 0). My graphics card is an
ATI 9800 Pro (128Mb).
My OS is Windows XP Pro (For my sins)
I have the latest 1003 BIOS from Asus.
I downloaded the latest drivers for the graphics card (as of today).
I enter the display setup, go to the tab that refers to AGP speed
(can't remember that tab name.). The slider shows it is set to 4x. I
slide it to 8x and apply. Windows XP asks me to reboot, I say yes.
Upon reloading the screen is slow to update and after a few seconds
flickers and stablises. I enter the display setup again and the
slider has returned to 4x!
I am a systems engineer with many years experience (not to say I don't
mess up once in a while) but I am *fairly* confident it is nothing
related to jumper settings or "is it plugged in right?"
I would love to fix this issue as it is really bugging me that I have
spent £250 on a card that isn't running at its full potential.
Is my graphics card compatible with my motherboard?
Your help would be greatly welcomed.
