All Asus A7v8x Users are you pissed at Your Hardlocked 32 AGP Aperature size !

[ViRuS2k]

Yeah thats right.

in the latest bios 1112-Beta5 they have hardlocked the AGP size to 32mbit..

now its to my understanding that for a 9700 Pro that uses 128DDR would be better suited to 64mbit Agp.....

----------------------------------------

my question is why did asus do this ?
and is there a fix to allow 64bit other than downgradeing the bios ? and if so to what revision ?

im puzzled :...................

i dunno but apeture is equal to amount of memory on the card so 9700 pro should be 128 not even 64 =p

go back to the previous bios, wait for the full release. They may have just screwd up.

actually the old general rule of thumb has been set your apperature to 1/2 of your system ram unless you have a vid card with 128/256MB of video ram

using a 128 meg 9700 pro, set your aperture to 128 meg......

Using the 1012.06 bios on an Asus A7v8x wont let me go over 32. I tried flashing back to a different bios but I got a black screen. Should I clear the cmos and try again? TIA for any help. ATI 9700 Pro 128 meg card if that helps.
