Possible need AGP drivers so Nvidia card runs at 2x instead of 4x

    I've got a Geforce 3 ti200 some crappy spacewalker MB and i'm running XP

    I installed the latest drivers off Nvida's website and was tweeking then when I notice it tells me it's running at 2x.
    Since there is no option to change this with the nivida software I check my Bios. It's set to be running at 4x/

    I had this problem before with at Geforce 2 and I got a patch that would fix this. Prob is I'm pretty sure that was for my old mother board (the one i broke......don't ask)

    What this patch tells me to do is open device manager and Click on the PCI-to-PCI bridge. and update the driver to what they gave me.
    Problem is there is no PCI-PCI bridge. I do searchers and eveything I can think of but I can't find this thing.

    Here is what it said
    "Go to device manager, right-click on the PCI-PCI bridge
    which represents your AGP bridge and select "Properties".
    2. Select the "Driver" page and push the "Update Driver"
    button. Go through the update driver wizard and on the
    "Locate Driver Files" page select "Specify a location"
    3. Enter the location of your new INF and driver."


    Ok any idea's on what the problem is here. Anyone had problems with a Nvidia card running at 2x when it should be 4?

    what your motherboard? did you download 4in1 drivers from cd that came with ur motherboard or download from motherboard's website? video card may be 4x but I dunno your motherboard, it might be 2x on agp or need 4in1 drivers.

    Only had troubles when I was overclocking some. That was due to my actions not a broken piece of hardware.

    Your motherboard might not use a VIA chipset. It might be an intel motherboard for all we know. What is the specific mobo? Go and download the chipset drivers for your mobo, that should hopefully take care of the problem.
