I have an 8KTA3+ mobo with a AMD Athlon 1Ghz processor. I have the latest
BIOS (7/29/2002) and the latest 4in1 drivers loaded. I have been running an
older AGP 2x ATI all-in-wonder card with no problems. I just bought a ATI
All-in-wonder 9600 AGP 8x/4x. I looked in the 8KTA3+ manual and it shows an
option in the bios under advanced chipset features of "AGP-4X MODE" which
can be enabled/disabled. When I enter the BIOS on my machine, I don't see
that option; in it's place I see one that says "AGP Mode" which can only be
set to 1x or 2x. The label on the box, the manual and a number of references
I have seen online say this mobo is AGP 4X capable. Why don't I see this
option in the BIOS? I read some references that talked about AGP running at
different voltages so I am afraid to just plug the card in - I don't want to
fry it or the mobo. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me - I want
to play Doom 3 and the old video card isn't supported!
Thanks!
