Have you enabled it in your BIOS?

In addition to what reddeathdrinker suggested, you might want to give the following "GeForce FAQ" articles a read...might be of some help.

...I believe your board uses the VIA KT133 chipset, so make sure you install the latest version of the 4 in 1's (ver. 4.33), in "Turbo Mode"...available from Viahardware:

Here's a direct link to the 4.33's...

maybe installing GART in turbo mode isnt enough to get 4X under Windows. Most of the times turbo mode will enable 2X in VIA chipsets.
Try installling Rivatuner: it will easily enable 4X and youll get a lot of other features to control your 3d applications, driver and video card. Get it here: http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/

Good suggestion! The newest RC7 version is awesome.:)

You can force AGP 4X with XP by using NVmax (plus its a great Oc-ing tool to boot.
