I have GF2MX and I can't get it work on my mobo. It is PCChips
M810 with 4xAGP slot. When I installed drivers and restarted
system, windows was full of mess. only some vertical lines etc.
I have tryed different drivers, updated bios but no good results. What can I do??
:confused:

try entering the bios and check your agp settings, agp interface (agp 1x, 2x, 4x), agp aperture size. what os r you using? if you set an aperture bigger than your system ram amount and youre using w2k pro and i guess winxp too youll get errors when starting up the os.
but give us more information, you see, when did the problem start? what did u do?

There is no AGP aperture size or AGP 1X...4X things in bios setup.

But I noticed one thing: When using starndard PCI-PCI bridge
driver, my GF2MX works but not with SiS AGP driver that came
with mobos Driver CD. Yeah, it works with standard PCI-PCI
driver and that's it...I mean it is VERY,VERY slow!!! It seems
like there is too slow transfer rate for AGP port.
In 3Dmark2000/high polyg.count I get only 532kp/s (1 light).
It should be something like 8000! Fill rates are OK.

few months ago I had Asus V7700 Gf2GTS, and it worked
with sis AGP driver but it was too unstable but transfer rates
were OK..thanks to AGP driver!

So, why GF2MX works with standard PCI-PCI bridge driver,
but not with SiS AGP driver!!?? please, help me!
