BIOS Tweaks that could help performance.

[bond.carl]

This involves some BIOS tweaks to help boost performance.

Hold delete when comp is booting up to access BIOS Settings (Different motherboards different keys). Then go on chip configurations and change the following settings:

AGP Aperture: 128mb. (This depends on the RAM of your graphics card. If it is 128mb+ then this should be ok. If less than put this setting to the size of the card).

AGP Fast Write nabled. This can boost the performance of the graphics by up to 10%.

Hope this helps <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Note for Radeon users: using AGP Fast Writes option without AGP 8x speed can lead to unexpected results. Either use Fast Writes _and_ 8x enabled or both disabled, but not just one of them.

At least that's how it worked out on my MSI motherboard.

I fear a little bit of trying this out, nem. But Thanks anyway. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

It won't blow up. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
At worst you could get some texture problems in certain games, nothing irreversible.
