OK - tonight I put in my Tbird 700 (actually it's supposed to overclock to 900 but I want to just get it working now - OC later) and my Leadek Winfast Geforce DDR that I have been using for 3 months. It's a Slot A Tbird on K7 Pro motherboard, runs 32 degrees idle. Anyways, I start playing Counterstrike and realize that my FPS are worse now than they were on a Celeron 525. So I decide to 3D Mark it and I get a pitiful 3880 - about average for my video card but on par with a 550 MHz P3! WTF is up with that?

Now I am locked in at AGP 1x. I am aware of the Geforce/AGP2x conflict and am trying to figure out how to fix it since I know there is a solution somewhere. I installed the latest AGP miniport driver from MSI's site. But I don't think AGP 1x/2x can make THIS much of a performance difference - can anyone help? Can anyone tell me how to increase my 3d marks and get the agp 1x/2x conflict resolved? Please?

I have the same problem with my Asus A7V...
I´m running a TBIRD 800@800.With my Asus GeForce 6600 DLX i also get wery bad performance in games and in 3Dmark 2000 (4195 points).
With my old ASUS P3V4X and an P3 733 o got 4700-4999 points in 3DMark.

I have tried the most:

BIOS 1003 and 1004a, VIA 4 in 1 v4.24 and older. Fastwrites ON/OFF, SideBand ON/OFF, GeForce Drivers from 3.75 to 5.33, and Detonator3 drivers but nothing helps!
I thinking of test the Asus 7700 GeForce2 card instead, but i'm worried that i will get bad performance on that card too, its alot of money to spend if it dosent work OK.

Have ANYONE got the ASUS 6600 DLX to perform well on the A7V?
