Because the lack of these features causes noticeable slowdowns when playing videos and Windows use. I got a SIS 645DX motherboard, and fast writes is disabled in BIOS and there is no option to enable it (ECS P4S5A/DX+ motherboard). However, maybe it's possible to enable it in drivers via regedit? I know the key to enable the hidden OC applet, and it works great. Now it would be great if I could turn on fast writes or at least side band addressing b/c my previous video card was slower than my current one (I went from Radeon 7000 to GeForce 4 MX 420), but I now get slowdown I didn't have before, especially when playing a video clip and trying to surf the net simultaneously, the sound is distorted whenever I try to scroll through pages. That never happened with my old Radeon (now I actually regret I exchanged it for a 420).
I mean, even though fast writes was disabled with my previous card, side band wasn't, and I had no performance issues. I think turning on side band which is disabled by default in nVidia driver would solve the issue.
Could you pls tell me which keys to add or link to where I can read about this?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
