Why can I not make my P750 work with "AGP Fast write"? Doesnt the card support it ? The card supports it, but it's deliberately disabled in the drivers. The Matrox tech support team found a while back that there was a conflict between the Macromedia Flash (IIRC) browser plug-in and the Parhelia which could be cured by disabling fast write. As they reckoned there was no performance penalty involved in disabling it, that's what they did. Enabling this function in Bios doesn´t make any effect in SISoft Sandra´s report. As mentioned it's disabled at driver level. You can re-enable it using PowerStrip, but if you do you're likely to find that Matrox were right and, at best, you might see one or two extra 3DMark points out of it. -- Richard Hopkins Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (replace .nospam with .com in reply address) The UK's leading technology reseller www.dabs.com Get the most out of your digital photos www.dabsxpose.com |

Thank you Richard !
I´m in a period of tuning my system, but this (supposed) tweak doesn´t seem meaningful then! I must admit that I don´t really know what "AGP fast write" does or under which circumstances it would be an advantage? Sten |
