Sparkle 7600GS 512 AGP

I Know it's not a very imaginative or informative title but It's the best I can do.

System (not good enuff to be called a RIG!)
ASRock P4 Combo MOBO (not sure of chipset)
Celeron 2.4Ghz CPU (in 478 Socket)
768mb RAM (running @ 2100 because of CPU)
Sparkle 7600GS 512mb AGP
XP SP1

For some reason using the latest NGOHQ drivers (I forget the version.

sorry!!) when looking @ the panel which displays AGP rate, fast writes etc, although the MOBO & CARD are reading 8x the OS is reading 2x. Is this an error, I tried SP2 recently but this messed up my Nokia PC Suite and even a re-Install couldn't fix it so I had to roll back SP2.

I also seem to have serious graphical problems if the GPU temp reaches 65C.

Any Advice anyone

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OS X2 is totally normal.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I think I am relieved

although I was hoping that something I could tweek would give me more fps obviously.

so why does the OS read 2x?

OS limitation due to driver requirements; the ForceWare drivers are responsible for the AGP link/rate in Windows Operation Systems. ForceWare is supposed to 'connect' between your hardware and your software (Graphics card and Windows).
