You should be able to go into BIOS and enable fast writes.

http://www.guru3d.com ..download RivaTuner and match it with the drivers your using, read the FAQ if you need to..go to global / system and search for EnableAGPFW ..set it to 1

well ,, thanks for the help ,,, but i have another problem ,,, a really difficult one ,,, i see glitches in the form of spikes evrywhere in some direct 3d games ,,,under windows xp professional ,,, games like comanche 4 and gta 3 and madonion 3dmark 2001 (max payne scene)

i don't know how to get rid of them ,,, i tried disable the sync in direct 3d and downclock the speed of the core and memory of my geforce 2 gts 32 mb by asus v7700...nothing happens ,,

ps: i have tried to change the dirvers using older detenator xp drivers with windows xp pro ,,, and nothing has changed ,,, tell u what ,, i even remember that i saw those spikes in comanche under windows 89 ,,, what's wrong ,, is it the hardware ,, i still didn't overclock anything in th pc ,, all at stock clock ,,, even the memory at cl2.5 ,.. no fast timing or cashing ,,, please help me if u can ,,
any help will be appretiated ,, thanks alot

don't panic it's the fast writes you just turned on that causes the trouble in some of the direct3d games...at least on my P3V4X Via chipset. I did a lot of fiddling but nothing fixed *everything* (cough No One Lives Forever cough) except disabling fast writes. here's something to try first though:

err, found out chipset info while writing this, looks like that's an SiS chipset not Via ... just turn the fast writes back off in the BIOS. honestly I don't notice a difference while I would like to keep it enabled...

well.. according to power strip readings ...in adapter info te fast werites is not checked and can't be checked ..just a msg pop up and reads that " although ur display adapter supports fast writes but ur motherboard doesn't , if u beleive that ur motherboard supports this feature ,, check ur bios or gart drivers " this means that fast writes is not enabled even if it's supported by my hardware ,, this means that fast writes isn't the cause of the spikes i see in some d3d games ,,, what else could it be ,,, please ,,, help me
any help will be appretiated ,,, thanks alot for ur co-operation
