Flash_LA is on a distinguished road

I have an ASUS A7V8X-X mobo with a Radeon 9700 pro onboard.

The mobo is supposed to come with 8X AGP but it seems that I only have 4X.

In my video card Prefrences, the mobo states that its running on 4X.

3DMark03 says that im running on 0X out of 8X...

I tried changing the slider to 8X in the Video Card Prefrences, applied changes, restarted, and no change.

The mobo Bios doesn't let me change the setting.

If someone has had a similar problem please give me some advise.

have you tried heading out to asus's website and downloading the latest bios for your mobo and also the latest chipset drivers? very often, if you just use what came on the cd, you will have problems since the drivers on the cd can be outdated and not always support the latest hardware, such as your radeon 9700.

I Have the A7V8X (not-X), and running at 8X conjured nothing but trouble. Alos running the 9700Pro, 8X is marketing hype. Even when it did run longer than a few seconds, the performance gain is nil. I am using XP's native chipset drivers with no troubles.
