What is side band addressing and how do you go about enabling it?

My understanding is it's an additional set of addresses, which allows data transfer and address transfer to be done concurrently, hence a bit more performance but possibly unstable.
Full datasheet is here... ftp://download.intel.com/technology/...oads/agp20.pdf To enable it? You need a vid card and mobo that support it, or if not, a BIOS update on your vid card and mobo that does. Xayd [Edited by Xayd on 02-28-2001 at 11:08 PM] |

Side-Band addressing is a performance enhancing feature, but I have found that it adds little if any performance gains.

OK! Thankx for the info. I've read about people try'in to use it for gains and what-not. I havn't been able to finger it out until now.
Thanx! |
