a7m266 boards and agp fastwriting

[Macel]

Does anyone have problems getting agp fastwrite to work with your geforce card? (as in, it shows as enabled in windows, not just the bios) if not, could you tell me what video card brand name you're using? Im not sure if its an incompatibility between the leadtek geforce gts/64mb version, if I am doing something wrong or if I just have a faulty motherboard... I'd like to try a differen't brand name of video card that normally supports agp fastwrites with the a7m266 board though.

Mine seems to be working ok. Bios shows it enabled, but SiSoft Sandra shows Fast Writes Enabled as "NO". I'm not sure if Sandra is accurate or what the deal is.

Yeah I think that the agp fastwriting is disabled for some reason. sounds like a problem with the mobo..It's probably causing about 200-400 points to be knocked off the 3dmk2k1 score, and is why the a7m board doesn't seem any better than most SDRAM based boards such as the kt7a..

What are you getting for scores with 3DMark2001?? Which drivers? Settings??
