On my backup build, i noticed that the AGP bus speed is only AGP 1X.
My build is:
Athlon K7 700MHz (Slot A)
ASUS K7M (REV: 1.04)
Asus GeForce 256 (AGP-V6600PRO/64M)
Creative Sound Blaster Live! (CT4830)
Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 (CT3990)
Realtek (RTL8931)
512MB SDRAM (PC133)
20 GB Maxtor
Dual boot: Win98se + Win2K
I have installed the 61.77 nvidia driver. I have installed the mobo drivers (4in1428v(a)) from the ASUS website, and some AGP driver pathces / fixes.
When i open the advanced settings for the display, it says: Bus: AGP 1X.
I have looked in the BIOS, but there are no options to change the AGP speed.
AFAIK, the mobo should support 2X and the GF256 4X.
I notice that the GF256 AGP connector (pro) is longer than the AGP port on the motherboard. I assume that the last pins effects the performance, but that the card is still compatible with the mothaerboard (it works fine). Does this "mismatch" limit it to the 1X speed?
Is it possible to run this build with 2X, and if yes, how do i set it to 2X?
