locking AGP on A7N8X

[Caffinehog]

Is locking the AGP bus speed on the A7N8X the same as locking the PCI bus speed? If so, could somebody with sandra confirm that the PCI bus is locked when they do this?

It should be the same. Isn't AGP speed just 2x PCI speed?

Yes, the AGP bus is always locked as long as you set the bios setup for this stuff to 1|1 instead of 4/1 or 5/1.

My friend has this board and its looked solid at 66.67MHz for the AGP and 33.34MHz for the PCI

No, what your refering to is the card locking mechanism which is a little white thing on the back of the AGP which keeps the card in its place.

What I'm refering to is a solid AGP / PCI that doesnt change regardless of the FSB used!

Hey OC-Master, how's your friend doing with that board?

Good,


He's using his old Duron 1000 for now but he's got the FSB at 200MHz which was the maximum from the first bios released. He's gonna flash the new bios this weekend which allows for FSB speeds of up to 250MHz DDR (500MHz Bus).

Must have one
