agp/pci problem with win2K

[Guest]

I have video card matrox g450 le agp and use win2k. I found out that win2k uses pci slot instead of agp - therefore, graphic performance is bad :-(
How can I change it manually to the right agp mode?

I assume you have two video cards, 1 AGP and 1 PCI, and you want your AGP to be primary?

There's a BIOS setting that lets you choose AGP/PCI for initial display.

Load the right driver.

Back to you Tom...

Load the AGP driver for your card... My TNT2 m64 did that initially but when i put in the AGP drivers it went from PCI to AGP.

thank you very much

Hi,
I don´t have two video cards. I checked BIOS settings - they are set for AGP. But still, Win2K doesn´t put it there, but on a PCI slot (or: identifies it as being there)
Any other idea?
Thanx

My voodoo3 does that 2 you mean in the device manager right?? Try running Sandra SiSoft and open up the PCI, AGP, Cardbus Busses information. Then go to the AGP bus it should see it right...
