I have an Epox 8RDA+ which allows me to adjust the AGP frequency alone. What do you guys runs yours at? Are the benefits worth the risks?

I have a Radeon 8500, BTW.

There's no point increasing the AGP frequency. It may allow more bandwidth between the video card and northbridge chipset, but that won't translate into performance. The switch from 4x AGP to 8x AGP didn't not really affect performance at all, even though the bandwidth was doubled.

There is a difference if you increase the agp freq I have mine set to 68 and have ran it @ 70 on a cold winter night but this all depends on you video card default is 66mhz and I wouldn't get over 69 if I where you testing the agp freq.
