g450 question

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.matrox (More info?)

have an Asus P4B & a Matrox g450 etv. The Matrox supports 4x agp, as
does the P4b. But when I examine using sandra i'm told

SiSoftware Sandra

AGP Bus(es) on Hub 1
Version : 2.00
Speed : 2x 66MHz (132MHz data rate)
Maximum Data Transfer Rate : 4x
Multiplier : 1/2x
Fast-Writes Enabled : No
Fast-Writes Support : Yes
Side Band Enabled : Yes
Aperture Size : 64MB
Tip 2525 : Current AGP data rate not optimal.

I'm running jumperfree & have set the bios for 4x. Any jumpers on the
Matrox?

any ideas?

If that does not work, try PowerStrip from Entech Taiwan

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. There's s*d all difference in performance
between 2x and 4x AGP for a card of this sort, so if it's working stably at
2x, leave it as-is.
