Anyone with an Asus A7N8X-E: Do you have problems with AGP set over 64Mb?

Post by FlyingPenguin »

AMD XP3200+, Corsair TwinX DDR400 (2-512Mb running in Dual Channel mode), Radeon 9800 Pro. It's rock stable with AGP Aperture set to 64Mb. With it set to 128 I get occasional BSOD when gaming.

Found a mention about this on ATI's site in their FAQ but they recommend setting the AGP Aperture to 64Mb.

I wouldn't mind doing that except that I see substantial improvements benchmarking in UT2004 with AGP Aperture set to 128Mb.

I've raised the RAM voltage a bit but it hasn't helped. Besides seems to be an AGP bus issue.

Anyone having a similar problem?

I have had it on the a7n8x-x and a ati 9200. However on the gigabyte 7nnxp that i have, the scores in my BM's get worse when i turn the appature to 128. It runs better at 64, so it is there at 64. but yes, I have seen the bsod when it is set to 128. havent seen a fix yet thou :(
