Default "fast write" and Gf4200ti 128mb 4xagp

Hi,
I have a n MSI K7t266 pro2 mobo and an MSI GF4 4200ti 128mb 4x agp card. The
mobo BIOS has a "fast write " option which it describes as allowing direct
communication with the video card to increase performance if the video card
supports this option.
Does anyone know if this card supports "Fast write" and if so does it
noticeably improve performance?

Andy

Fast write won't improve performance.


Yes it will, though generally it's not by very much.

In fact, it has been known to reduce stability.


That was long ago now. Graphics and motherboard chipsets have been debugged
ages ago now. Turn it on, at worst it won't hurt, and it might even help a
little.

Show me proof of what kind of "improvement" it produces. I have yet to see
any.

Yes, maybe so. Unfortunately the author of the Omega Drivers doesn't think
it is stable enough yet and still advises that people shut it off.
