    Enabling Fast Writes and Side Band Addressing on Gigabyte GA-8IRXP.. is it possible??

    Topic says it.. it is i845 board, which supports only AGP 4x devices. Sisoft Sandra says it supports Fast Writes and Side Band Addressing, but they are not enabled. There is NOWHERE in the BIOS that I can turn these features on. I went through it millions of times as well as the entire .pdf manual. Anyone?

    Cool

    Fast Writes is not supported by all boards and chipsets. I know the I815 chipset does not support it.

    Cool

    I don't think so. The benchmark tests have revealed that the gains, if any, are minimal and in most cases enabling fast writes slows things down.
