hey guys...help a noob by explaining a bit about the AGP fast write...my only question is
should it be ON or OFF....whats better...i got it on 8x and OFF...i use omega latest drivers..
 
Try it both ways. Do some benchmark, like aquamark. on each, and see if one is faster than the other.See if you have problems with either. I use fastwrites on and have no problems. Other people can't use it. It's a try and see situation. Good luck!
 
On or Off, your probably not going to see a performance difference. If I rememeber correctly, during installation the Omega's turn it off.
 
turn it on and play hours and hours of games and run 3dmark and see if it freezes or sttuters..... if nothing happenes then just leave it on because it is *suppose* to increase perforamnce by a tiny margin.. i can't have it on because my 6800 ultra doesn't like it.
 
Copy n Paste from RojakPot:
This BIOS feature controls the AGP bus' Fast Write capability. Fast Write is a feature which accelerates memory write transactions from the chipset to the AGP device.

Fast Write allows the AGP device act like a PCI device. This allows it to bypass the main memory and directly access the data which improves AGP read performance. However AGP write performance is not affected.

It is recommended that you enable AGP Fast Write for better AGP read performance but disable it if any of your PCI cards start acting funny.

In my experience, Fast Writes have only caused problems with minimal benefits. Benefits such as extremely hard to identify crashes and freezes. Keep it off for sanity's sake ;)

I think there is an option in the Omega Control Panel (right click from desktop), and there should be a link in your start menu.
