I am having difficulty getting my Creative Labs GeForce 256 Annihilator
Pro (CLAP) graphics card to run at AGPx4 on my ABIT KA7 motherboard
under Windows 98SE.  It works fine at AGPx2.  I know people have
successfully managed this.  If you are one of those lucky people, could
you spare the time to reply to this message with the following
information:

    RAM type (as much info as possible)
    Relevant BIOS settings
    KA7 BIOS version
    Any relevant KA7 drivers & version number
    CLAP driver versions
    Any non-default settings of CLAP drivers required

Many thanks for this information.  I'm trying to identify the common
feature between successful installations!

I suspect my RAM may be the problem.  I'd be particularly interested to
hear from people who have first-hand experience of non-branded RAM
working (or not working) with AGPx4.  I give my machine spec below.

Thanks,

Paul

================

For reference, my machine has the following specification:

    Athlon K7 750MHz processor (not overclocked)
    ABIT KA7 motherboard, KA7_RJ bios.
    128MB PC133 RAM (10ns, 3CAS, unbranded)
    Creative Labs GeForce 256 Annihilator Pro 32MB DDR
    Creative Labs Soundblaster Live!
    300W power supply
    2 Seagate 8.4GB UDMA/66 hdds on IDE controller 1
    1 Seagate 6GB UDMA/33 as master on IDE controller 2
    1 Phillips x40 CDROM as slave on IDE controller 2
    Windows 98SE

I have applied the VIA updates listed at www.via.com for Windows 98.
BIOS is set pretty much as default setup, apart from hclock+pciclk is
set under DRAM settings to enable 133MHz speed.  AGP port is set as
64MB.

Motherboard voltages seem healthy - according to VIA hardware monitor,
+5v and 3.3v lines are slightly over their nominal value, 12v line is
11.9v.

You might try : <alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit>

The people there know about these things.

Hope this helps
