AGP has been reduced from 4x to 2x, only in SMARTGART
because I couldn't locate the setting in the BIOS. I
found video preference and AGP Aperture Size, but I'm not
sure that there is a setting for AGP speed. In any case,
all I notice by changing the setting in SMARTGART is an
evident decrease in performance. Fastwrite was already
turned off, and indeed cannot be turned on.
The one thing that I did notice when I was tooling around
in the BIOS was a feature that hadn't stuck out until
now..."Advanced HyperStreaming Engine," which was enabled
by default. According to Asus' website, the purpose of
this feature is to:
SiS HyperStremingT Technology, it makes streams of chipset
data flow all over the paths, Efficiently, Concurrently,
Smoothly and Intelligently. Further more, SiS655TX
Advanced HyperStreamingT Engine enhances the transfer rate
on the path from host block to memory controller block to
achieve the target that can improve whole system
performance.
Perhaps this, combined with my pre-HyperThreading video
card, has something to do with my difficulties?
And also, is there anything else that you recommend to fix
my problem, rather than taking away from the performance
of my existing video card? Or do you think that the
purchase of a new card is in order?
