Voodoo 5 and 4x AGP??

[Guest]

Hello all,

Ive got a question that has been bugging me forever. ive got a Voodoo 5 5500 which Ive had on my A7V and now my A7M266. In the 3dfx Hub options, when I try to select the AGP setting, I only get auto detect, 1x and 2x. The V5 is a 4x AGP card and the A7M supports AGP 4X and AGP Pro. Why cant I get my V5 to run in 4x mode??? Please help, im extremely confused!!

Are you <b>Sure</b> it's a 4x card? If I remember correctly It's only upto 2x.
Mine also has the options for default, 1x and 2x. I have the last drivers released.
I will try to find a page with some specs for the card to verify.

Yeh, the voodoo4 and 5, is 4x agp.
But running on 2x only with a mbd like this?
i don't now, perhaps the mbd is not supporting well your voodoo!!

first check your bios and make sure 4x is enabled,if so then try reinstall the via 4in1 agp driver in turbo mode.
