I have a Gigabyte motherboard- GA-6VX7B-4x, Intel Celleron @766Mhz overclocked@957Mhz and a GeForce4Ti4800se. GREAT graphics card, but i can't get it to work at 4x speed.Although I set the AGP speed to 4x in the BIOS, still in the Windows i get a note that my card's speed is 2x and in PowerStrip3.46 i get this message too.I tried everything but I am not able to fix this.I have a WindowsXP-SP1 and a Via chipset on my motherboard which is probably the problem!If anyone knows the fix to this problem please post it soon.I'm sleeples because of it!Oh yeah, just to say that I had upgraded my BIOS, tryied with the latest Via4-in-1 drivers,some registry fixes I found on the Net and still nothing works!I've installed the latest Via-4in-1 drivers(4.51) and I have the 44.03 Nvidia Graphics drivers!I really can't find the solution for this problem!
 
I had a simular situation some time ago.
Only my GF4 was running in PCI mode .
I had to strip the windows completly for
display drivers to get it in right AGP mode again.
Detonator Rip from guru3d.com helped.
I think a also uninstalled the chipset agp driver.
(device manager , hidden devices )

Then reinstalled all the drivers back.
 
Check the downloads for your motherboard. Motherboards with non-Intel chipsets may require an AGP driver to take full advantage of the claimed port speed.
 
I'm sure that it supports AGP 4x 'cause in the BIOS and on my previous graphics card(RIVA TNT2) it was AGP 4x.Also Sandra 2002 analyzed my Comp. and showed that my motherboard does support AGP 4x.I will try to install WindowsME to see if things will be better.By the way those guys wrote wrong that it supports only 1x.It has a Apollo 133A-something, maybe this will help!!!
 
And do be careful about voltages, there's 4X AGP at 3.3 Volts and 4X AGP at 1.5 Volts.
 
Well, how can i findout with how much voltage is my AGP supplyed?
