I installed 3DMark 2001 SE on both my TR2A (upgraded to Pro) and my desktop, and got the following results using its System info applet (System Info>Motherboard Info>AGP Capabilities):

TR2A:
Revision: 2.0
Rate: 1x, 2x, 4x, (1x enabled)
Aperture Size: 256 MB
Sideband Addressing: supported (disabled)
Fast Write: supported (disabled)

Desktop:
Revision: 3.0
Rate: 4x, 8x (8x enabled)
Aperture Size: 64 MB
Sideband Addressing: supported (enabled)
Fast Write: supported (enabled)

[I’m using the latest Intel graphics drivers that allow me to use the magnify button.]

It shows that the TR2 is capable of AGP 4x but it’s crippled at 1x, does anyone know how to get it to 4x?

I’m not that interested in changing the aperture size (BIOS setting), but maybe someone else here is, so if you know how please explain.

Enabling Fast Write & Sideband Addressing would be nice also.

My theory on how to fix this:
Use a compatable generic Phoenix BIOS (if they still make those), risking a dead TR

What was the TR score?

Thats not bad at all…my old 2.0ghz desktop with a 64mb card and 1gb of ram only scored 1,000…glad to see my TR is faster.

I found out why the system is set at AGP 1x. It’s because the chipset is capable of AGP 4x, but only if a discrete graphics card is used. So the intergrated chip is stuck at 1x. :cry:
