Please help I am perplexed. > This may be a dumb answer to a good question (sorry if so - BTW) But is there an option to set the AGP in BIOS to it's full 8X? Or a MB driver from Abit for that? I'm not too familiar with Abit's MB's, or XP for that matter, but I've been trying for years to get more frames on this ol' clunker to no avail. There have been some Descent / XP issues and fixes. Moon will help! He knows everything! hehehehe (seriously you'll find the answer here - we'll get 'er fixed - don't dispair) Hey Moon! Haaallllpppp ! D
