I have a GF3 and in a program I dl'd it says that Fastwrites and sidebanding are supported by my mobo and not by my Vid card... I thought the GF3 supported those...?

Those features must be available in the mobo first. Without those supports by the mobo, video card with those features cannot be used, sorry m8

They cause more trouble than they're worth. Don't fret over them.

IF they arent enabled in the bios it will say that usually,get a tweaking program such as gf tweak utility and enable it useing it ,sandra says the same thing .

MY mobo and video card both support FW, but Sandra shows FW as not enabled. I used RivaTuner to enable the FW, but there was no increase in performance at all. Sandra shows FW enabled
This is what you must do:
In System Global:
Diasable AGP=WDisconnect=1
EnableAGPFW=1
EnableAGPFWStrap=1

You would have to flash the vid card bios to enable SBA, but don't bother. It doesn't noticibly increase performance and it negatively impacts stability quite a bit.

No ,you dont have to flash the bios ,get geforce tweak utility and enable it useing it ,but it is known to cause system instability.
