Got a new board over the weekend and I am trying to figure out a quirk that it has related to AGP and DOS benchmarks. It appears that the AGP slot is somehow crippled in performance compared to PCI. Board is an Epox EP-MVP3C2 with BIOS VP3C0C21 from "CPU Upgrade: Getting the AMD K6-2+ / K6-III+ to work on your Super Socket 7 board."

Currently it has a K6-2+ running at 500mhz and 128mb PC100. FSB is 100
I threw in my Voodoo 3 2000 AGP from my FIC VA503+ and was getting significantly less performance in Phil's DOS Benchmarks compared to the VA503+. I then tried a Riva TNTM64 AGP and PCI on the Epox and sure enough the PCI was getting much better frames in every benchmark. Very strange. Anyone experience anything like this? I have not tried benching in Windows yet but will be working on that today.
