There are no AGP listings other than AGP OverVoltage Control under Advanced BIOS Features. > > I had a similar problem using a Radeon 9200 on an A8V; graphic mode > would cause problems when the AGP mode was automatically set by the > BIOS. 4x works like a charm :P If you have any other ideas, I'm open to suggestions.
