  • AGP dividers in the bios.

    running 110 fsb.. on a bp6..
    can anyone tell me if it's ok to run my matrox 32mb DH on that bus setting which is 1/1/ or i should just strictly keep to my 2/3 setting.. i'd rather hear some advice before i do it and fry the dam thing..

    I actually wonder how it runs at 1/1 in a 110 fsb... blessed G400!

    That´s the way it works: AGP spec is a 66 Mhz bus. The AGP bus speed is derived from the fsb. If you run a cpu with a fsb of 66 Mhz, you use 1/1 (66 Mhz AGP). If you run a 100 Mhz fsb cpu you use 2/3 (100*2/3=66 Mhz AGP). You are now running the AGP bus at 110 Mhz... That´s not good.

    Use 2/3, you will get 73 Mhz AGP bus, that is out of spec, but it´s definitly better than 110 Mhz!
