I have an AV49N mobo. With both the AV49S00L and AV49S00Q BIOSes, the AGP
apeture is bizzarre. Bo into BIOS and press Enter when on Aperture Size. I
see:
256 [ ]
128 [ ]
64 [.]
32 [ ]
16 [ ]
8 [ ]
4 [ ]
AGP Mode [ ]
1 [.] [ ]
And there is no separate setting for AGP Mode! There should be no reason for
AGP Mode to be an option in aperture size. AGP Mode should be a separate
setting. Does anyone else have this problem with this BIOS? If so, it looks
like Phoenix needs to fix this, and it may explain some of the bizzare
crash-to-desktop problems I and everyone else has been having with 8x AGP cards.
Take a look if you have AWARD BIOS!
Thanks!
Mark
PS: I swapped a new replacement AV49N mobo and had the same problem with both
the L and Q BIOS releases!
Life is too stupid to always act smart.
