Thanks for that info VDNKH. The 775Dual VSTA does not appear to be effected by that bug. AGP Texture acceleration is enabled in Dxdiag.
2mg I’ll give rivatuner bootstrapping a shot but I don’t think it will change much. It didn’t change much if I remember, it just gave me different control panel settings. And made the temps go way up.
Thanks!

You need VT237A, original revision does not support any storage with SATAII/III interface. But there are some workarounds. SSDs with Sandforce SF-2281 controller can be forced to work in SATAI mode. Relatively new Hitachi/HGS HDDs also support forced software switch between SATA modes. Some old SATAII HDDs provided jumpers to force SATAI mode.
Of these Dual GPU mobos I have P4V800D-X with VIA VT8237R PLUS, although there seem to be more revisions of this board, and 775Dual-880Pro has VT8237.
Someone specifically mentioned one or both of these as being problematic, forgot in what terms of issues too 🙁
Is it enough to eBaby the SATA-I new/new old stock SSDs? I mean, they will probably be some Chinesiums, but still. Or SATA-I HDDs, same logic.
The Sandforce ones do it automatically I presume, and Hitachi software switch, is that done with some proprietary software?
Thanks for proposed workarounds, appreciate it!
