----------------------

I am new to overclocking but have read articles about it. I am not able to confirm that my AGP mode is actually at 4X. I know it is running at least at 2X mode while in overclocked and also NON-overclocked situations. (AGP 1X and 2X uses 66Mhz bus speed, what about 4X mode? Usually the AGP clock divider is 2/3 of the FSB, but for 133Mhz FSB, the AGP clock divider is 1/2).

Does any one know of current issues with AGP and Asus mobo using the above Via chipset? Anyone else having this problem?

Tom's Hardware indicated that Via AGP drivers were causing serious performance hits when reviewing this Asus mobo almost a year ago, but nothing is mentioned about the APG 1x,2x,4x mode. Also I thought there was an article at Tom's Hardware that mentioned something like Nvidia drivers not supporting fast write in Via chipsets?

thanks for any help I can get.
