Wellllllll

I was getting worried...

Since when I played video's I was seeing these nasty ugly blue and red
squares on my screen.

Also the light demo showed this in the water.

First I thought I had damaged my card since the asus p3v4x motherboard did
not auto detect/auto set the agp 4x etc.

I tried hitting del to go to the bios setup on the first boot... but I was
just a bit to late.

So first I ran the light demo with AGP 1x. The particles/dots looked like
squares... but it was still pretty impressive !

Then I did a reboot... this time I went to the bios... and I set agp to 4x
and (unfortunately) I enabled fast write.

Saved it reboot and did the light demo again... this time dots looks good
like dots like in the movie 😀

But there where little artificats on the water...

Then I also played some movies... and to my horror... I saw red and blue
dots when the screen went black.. yak !

Reminded me of my old 80486 which had numerical problems hehehehe.

I had a feeling the fast write option was to blame since it was undocumented
in the p3v4x manual... so I did some little searching on the net...

And it turned out that fast write is a competing technology with something
else... I forgot it's name.

So I went back to the bios... turn fast write off (disabled).

And rebooted.... this the the video's played perfectly !!!!! =DDD without
ugly blue/red dots

This time the water looks good tooooooo wiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I
just tested it 😛 =D

I must have used AGP 1x with my TNT2 card as well doh ! I wonder if TNT2
card can do AGP 2x or something... maybe it would have been faster....
wiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I still have to try RTCW with AGP4x wieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh yeah one more question that remains is... does FX5200 support USWC

( uncacheable, speculative write combining ) ?

I ll leave it at disabled for now =DDDD

Oh yeah one more thing... I also set the graphics aperture size to 128 mb...
I think that means how much memory the card has ! it was at 64 mb... but I
think the card has 128 mb so it should be set at 128 mb !

Well I am off

Seeeee yoooou laterrrrrrr..

Skybuck.
