I was checking some things today and happen to notice that it shows 1x agp as bus speed in the details section of the catalyst driver tab. I checked Sisoft and Cpuid and they both report 1x. The bios is set to 4x. Shouldn't this be reported as 4x? Or maybe I misinterpeting something, wouldn't be the first time. I'm using the latest drivers, 7.72 from Hercules site.

You know what, I think my card is also running at 1x AGP. I set the AGP to 4x in the motherboard but after I do a run with 3D mark, it gives me an n/a for my AGP speed...This would probably explain my pathetic scores also...And I'm also running an Epox motherboard...Weird...

I'm going to download NVmax and try to force AGP 4x.

I just went back and reinstalled the 4in1s and now its back to 4x like it should be. There must've been a hiccup in the previous install. Maybe I didn't notice it and it wasn't in turbo mode.
