AGP Question regarding G200

[Computeman]

I was curious if the G200 is able to do agp 2x and if it is how do i know what my agp is running at?

Computeman:

My g200 is running at AGPx2. To test if your card is, go here, download and run PCIList v1.50

If you are running AGPx1, go here:

Click on the Utils link and look for a file called MURCG200RegHacks.zip (I think) and you will find a reg file that forces AGPx2.

Happy trails,

Me thinks those hacks are notsk for sockets 7

Sure, they work... sometimes. The G200, ss7 and AGP2 seems to be a bad combination, mine also won't work on AGP2.
Anyway, it really doesn't matter, you won't gain much more than a few (1-3) percent when forcing AGP2. It's not worth the instability increasement.

Well I am currently running windows 2000 professional and pcilist did not work however powerstrip worked and it says i am currently running at agp 1x...what do i need to do change it to 2x and is it worth it(how much performance would I get?)

You need to run a direct3D app before the card goes to 2X mode otherwise it will always show 1X!
