I have just bought an asus a7v133,, this is my first asus board.. I haev been runnign abit kt7's and now I am not seeing the same bios, options.. I went with this board simply b/c itt supports the 200 ddr and 266 fsb... But I have just purchased a Geforce ultra.. as well. My fps arent as high as I had been used to from my 32mb Hercules geforce. I know it must be something in the Bios I am forgetting to either enable or disable. Does anyone have any hints or links I could view reguarding the higest performance with my ultra..
Thnx in advance

Here are the options that will get you the best performance.... the rest I dont mention can stay at default...

System Performance: Optimal
AGP Speed: 4X
AGP Fast Write: Enabled
SDRAM Configuration : 7ns(PC143)
PCI Master Read Caching: Enabled
Byte Merge: Enabled
Graphics Aperature Size: 128MB
Video Memory Cache Mode: USWC

Also make sure you using BIOS 1004, it has the best performance and is stable (1002 and 1003 had a bug with miscounting RAM)
