Hello all,
I have recently installed a new Gainward geforce 3 ti200 video card(great card by the way).
It has a program with it call Expertool,that lets see your system info and tweak little things that have to do with graphics.
Anyhow,when I click the Information Tab,it has a line that says "BUS TYPE AGP 2x"
I have the BIOS set at agp 4X.
I was wondering if this BUS TYPE is something different than what I have set in the BIOS.I just thought that it should read BUS TYPE 4x.
Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
Dave

I dont know if this is pertinent to you, but in PCI "type" devices, a PCI video card is considered on bus 1
and an AGP card is on bus 2 (02h)(h=hexidecimal)

Also AGP spec 2.0 contains 1X 2X and 4X
Agp 1.0 and 1.1 contain 1X and 1X, 2X

download freeware "PCI List" to be sure
