Radeon AGP Fast Write on the Dragon Plus

Hi Farmuse,

Yeah I found the information on the Omega site. For some reason I can't get
to this setting in the BIOS, i.e. I can't change it, but it's set to
enabled. So even if it doesn't improve I'm still confused why I can't turn
the darn thing on.

Thanks !
