Just checking out the Bios on my comp and noticed a few settings i think should be changed but arent certain:
AGP Fastwrite- This is disabled, should i enable it? Whats it for?
AGP Aperture Size- Currently on 128Mb, i'm guessin this is right?
Primary Graphics Adaptor- PCI. My Cards AGP so again i'm guessing i should change this to AGP?
AGP Detection- Auto, it also has 2x, 4x, 8x Options, is this best left on Auto?
Thanks.

Enable the fastwrites. disable if u have any problems(rare)
Agp arp@ 128 is fine for mostTest other values if ur pc dont like it.

primary display doesnt" HAVE" to be agp unless u have something in a pci slot but best to leave it on agp so u dont forget about it later if u do put a pci card in.

Agp detection is best at Auto,so if u change cards and they have different agp rates u wont have to change it.
 
Thanks

I had finally already changed them all myself after a bit of research but i changed the AGP Arp to 8x instead of Auto, i wont be installing an older card any time.

I have noticed a slight increase in my 3D Mark 2001SE Scores but not a great deal.
 
aperture size is best at maybe 1/4 of your entire RAM.. :)

though i got a gig, and i also have it at 128, for my other ive got it at 32, it has 256mb RAM, but i want more availeble for aps..
