"The AGP fast write BIOS setting allows the processor to communicate directly with the graphics processor, ignoring the need to send data through the system's memory. This should be enabled to provide a performance boost. You should ensure that your video card supports fast writes before setting this option, however. " PC Stats

Even if it support it, the combination of motherboard and adapter might not handle it well. Fast writes may cause crashing, artifacts, or other problems, so give it a thorough test.
