Worth a shot.. I'll try disabling that too. I can change that in the driver settings, right? ... or do I have to do it in the bios? Is there a significant loss to performance? Again my card is not overclocked at all anymore.
BTW, isn't fastwrites always recommended "off" for ATI cards? I can't recall the setting. If it is the one and the same, it is already off.
Odd thing, last night, I tried to switch to 4x AGP... XP wouldn't let me do it. Windows refused to load.... back to 8x and it loaded the OS fine. (really scared me for a bit). With Christmas coming up, I'm swamped with stuff, so I may not get far with this.
To everyone offering advice, THANKS!
