    AGP4X and NVidia Cards

    To gargouille, Regarding a registry hack, apparently Nvidia disables AGP4X when a VIA chipset is detected because of all the compatibilty problems encountered (like my issue) over the last couple of years.

    AGP4X and NVidia Cards

    Thanks again gargouille, More details : The Tyan S1854 Motherboard uses the Apollo Pro 133a chipset. It is specified to be AGP 4X capable. The setup runs fine at AGP 2X, but only boots to Windows safemode when AGP4X is enabled via a registry hack.

    AGP4X and NVidia Cards

    Has anybody gotten AGP 4X to work with a new NVidia Card and the VIA Apollo 133A Chipset and Win 98SE? Please provide a reference. I know there are lots of Web posts describing problems and potential solutions that have not worked for me.
