AGP problem, again

OK, I got more memory now, 512mb DDR memory and a SeaGate 7200RPM 40GB ATA-100 2mb cache hard drive. FPS has increased by 20, but the AGP is STILL in 2X. I have downloaded VIA's 4 in 1 drivers, and I have updated my graphics drivers to the latest, I also tried the SIS AGP GART drivers, but for some reason it doesn't detect an AGP device.

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Thanks.

Is it a 4x card?

Yes, it's a Pine XP-3800 SIS 315E 64MB DDR 4X AGP card. Motherboard also supports 4X.

i assume u changed the option in the bios?

Yes, it's set in the BIOS to 4X.

well basically to get the card to work at 4x - u need to do what u did
change the option in the bios and save changes when u exit the bios
have a 4x card - install the cards latest drivers - install direct x9 - install motherboard chip set drivers -

is there a bios update for your gfx card or bios available that u dont have?

do u have a buddy with a 4x enabled mobo u could ask to try the card to see if it actually does go to 4x

I'm not sure if there is a BIOS update, I'm not sure what BIOS it has. Mobo chip set drivers installed, DirectX9 installed etc, still the same. I don't have some one with a 4X enabled mobo.

well u need to have a look to see what mobo it is :

have a look either as it boots up and press pause to see if it says what mobo / bios its using or open up the case and have a look maybe there is an issue with the mobo - we never know
did u have a look on google for your gfx card and any issues?

Iv'e got a Syntax SV266A mobo, and I couldn't find any other issues on the internet for the card.
