1/2 AGP Divider & i815e

[Big Lar]

OK, I got the Abit SH6 Mobo the other day, It's running fine with my P3 800,blah blah blah, Heres the Question,How do you know what speed your agp is running at, as there is no setting in Bios as to it,and Sisoft,( at least my version), dosn't show it. BTW, I'm running a G400 on it.

sorry I dont know how to answer your question but instead had a question of my own....


how do you like the board so far and where did you get it? just curious since I am still considering getting it, just cannot justify in my mind spending more than 150 at a time on my computer except on a monitor, thanks.

bozack, I like the board so far, Bit of a pain to setup, but if you just remember to set all the Dip switches to the off position on the board, instead of the default way for the board, then it works great, I bought it off the Forum here from "Yourself", for 120 bucks,I'm presently running my AGP at 4x on the board, and liking it, Like I said tho, Lotsa bios settings, but the Memory is almost as good as my Asus P3b-f was according to Sisoft.1 more thing/ this is a Hugeeeeeeeee board, you need a good sized case for it, as I would say without measuring that the board is:2" wider, & 2" longer than my Previous P3b-f, but a whole lotta room between the Slot and the 1st dimm, 3 1/2" to be exact

Well on my MSI 815e Pro, the AGP Divider changed automatically when I ran at 133fsb or higher. So I think your board would likewise have the same feature.

Thanks for the input DJ, But how do you know?

get sisoft sandra 2001, it tells you AGP bus speeds...

 

[Adde]

Sisoft Sandra 99 does too, look under mainboard information.

 

[Big Lar]

I had just DL's sisoft 2001, dosn't tell me in mine, I had 99 pro previously, and nothing there either... very strange......

 

[Big Lar]

How bout a new twist to this, Does anyone know of a utility that will tell what the agp card is running at? I used to be able to tell with sandra on the bx chips, but with the Solano, it dosn't pick it up.....

isnt the SH6 a slot board???

 

[Big Lar]

Pers, Yes it is. I found the solution BTW, which was to Install Sisoft 2000, as 99 nor 2001 would show the agp speed
