    Post AGP & win2k

    Does win2k allow 4x AGP.. Games, ie DiabloII, only work when I have the bios set to 2x(normal) rather than 4x(turbo). And the nvidia drivers dont have an option for turbo or normal agp like the win9X version.

    I'm running Win2K w/ a GF 2 set to 4x, no trouble here... but I haven't played Diablo 2 on this setup.

    What do you mean the games won't run? Do they freeze in the game, or not start at all. And in question with the GeForce cards, can the Drivers really change your AGP settings?

    The games run but freeze very quickly upon intialization.
