Woot 4x AGP

Funny thing after i installed those drivers i rebooted, ran power strip.

system board was still listed and 2x and i could not click the 4x.

but something stuck me odd in there so i rebooted, went in the Bios and went over all the settings from the Floppy driver to video. I didn't change anything but i clicked a few opitions off and on, exited saving changes.

ran Power Strip 4X system board. some how it is enabled.

I bet it was the AGP driver from that page that did it. I will not have to try my EQ with all the Textures turned on.

I feel pretty good now.

Seems i have had this board for a year and only in the past Month sat down and Trouble shot it.

problem one Slow BOOTS but didn't bother me much. new promise driver fixed that. Now i might have an AGP problem that i just dicovered fixed.

Yes i am see the inproved performance in EQ. I have turned up most of the graphic options i want on and my system isn't even slowed down. I have the ingame clip plane to max. I have textures on High, 3D sky to full. Things are looking up now.

thanks for the tips Lord Prism and for listing the Power Strip Program. That sucker is great.
