AGP showing as disabled?

Spirited Away · 06-16-2007, 02:43 PM

Anyone mind helping me out?

Motherboard: KM18G Pro
Graphic card: ATI (Gecube?) Radeon 9600 Pro
OS: Windows XP Home
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2700+

::BIOS::
BIOS type: Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG
BIOS date: 09/24/03
BIOS ID: 09/24/2003-nVidia-nForce-6A61BBK9C-00
OEM Sign-On: V1.03

Note: Wasn't sure where to post this, so I posted it here and in the graphic card forum.

Note 2: I do not have a Windows XP CD.

Note 3: Not sure if my motherboard uses a different BIOS than that offered by my motherboard manufacturers. The company who built my system have closed down, leaving me with no way to download a BIOS update from them.

This is something I noticed awhile back. Device manager told me that my AGP card was in 'PCI bus 2', which struck even an average PC user such as myself as rather odd. Every test I've tried has told me that AGP is disabled.

Here's the information SMARTGART (AT CCC) is showing:

AGP speed: 0X
Fast Write: Off
AGP Write: Off
AGP Read: Off

Can't seem to change them, it stays the same after SMARTGART reboots to check the new AGP settings.

The BIOS settings are conflicting with this, showing what should be.

It didn't bother me too much in the past, my computer is old and outdated anyway. What's got me to post this is worry over my performance being a lot more poor than it should be as a result of this...
