how can i check if my graphics card is running at PCI level or AGP level????

[Lombardaga]

With the AK33 mobo, there is a "bios bug" that makes the graphics card run at PCI level even though the AGP card is in the AGP slot... So how can i check that the card is running correctly at AGP level?? Would the performance differences be big from PCI level to AGP level??? Plz help!!

go to TweakFiles, choose the processor category on the left side, and find a program called WCPUID. Download it, install it, and when running it, you should see a button on the right that says AGP Info. Click it, and it will tell you is AGP Operations are enabled or disabled.

would i notice any performance differences with for example Quake3 when i run at AGP level???

Type in DXdiag at Run, will list all display settings.

I disagree with using the DXDiag utility. I only say this because I have seen conflicting reports from this against 2 or 3 other sources. It might actually help you out though. Also, you probaly would see a huge difference in playing Q3A in AGP mode. When mine was in the same shape your's is in now, I noticed a big difference in anything from the demos from Nvidia's site to DVD playback.
