AGP 2x with a Gigabyte 7IXE4 Mainboard

[purelonewolf]

Hi

I have the 7IXE4 motherboard but can't find any way of enabling AGP 2X - It only sees 1X and there is nothing in the Bios that sets the rate.

I am running the Fad bios (latest on the giga website)

I have a Geoforce 3 TI 500 in the AGP and any number of tuning utilities won't change the rate either.

Any Ideas??

Thanks in advance

Dave

According to this page it supports 2X:

But you may want to read the links in this thread about 2X/4X:

Check the AGP aperture size in your system bios, if it supports this. What's it set at? Should be around 1/2 of your system RAM. Settings too low can disable AGP acceleration entirely.
