Ik heb meerdere topics gevonden waarin mensen het probleem hadden die een AGP 8X grafische kaart hadden, die niet verder kwam dan AGP 4X. Nergens vond ik een oplossing in dit forum voor mijn probleem. Uiteindelijk heb ik het wel opgelost en deel dan ook graag mijn bevindingen ... wie weet komt het nog van pas:
Using a current AGP driver for your system is critical for stable system operation.
AGP memory is actually system memory, which the graphics controller can access quickly through the AGP bus.
The AGP bus (66MHz) is clocked at twice the speed of the PCI bus (33MHz) and supports 2X, 4X and 8X data transfer modes which increase the data transfer rate by a factor of 2, 4 or 8 times.
Additional components, built into the AGP chipset, translate addresses, allowing the graphics controller and its software to see a contiguous space in main memory, when in fact the pages are disjointed. Thus the graphics controller can access large data structures like texture bitmaps as a single entity.
The built-in chipset hardware is called the GART (Graphics Address Remapping Table).
AGP Motherboard/Chipset Drivers
Not only do you need display drivers for an AGP graphics card, you also need drivers for your motherboard which enable AGP functionality for the motherboard chipset.
These drivers may be referred to using any of the following names:
AGP Driver
AGP Miniport
AGP VXD Driver
Chipset Driver
GART Driver
VGART
Often you will see the name of a motherboard chipset in connection with these terms. For example:
ALi GART Driver
AMD AGP Miniport
Intel VGART
VIA AGP Driver

Aren't there AGP drivers on the Windows CD?
Yes. There are some. But they do not support very many motherboards.
Intel 440BX and 440LX chipsets are supported on the Windows 98 and Windows 2000 installation CD's. A small number of chipsets from other manufacturers may also work without additional software.
However, if your motherboard is newer than your operating system, or if you experience any sort of problem with the AGP chipset drivers on the Windows CD, you will need a software update from your motherboard manufacturer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where can I get AGP drivers for my motherboard/chipset?
If you purchased a new motherboard, you likely received a diskette or CD which contains these drivers.
If you purchased a new system, the drivers were probably pre-installed by the system manufacturer. You might also find a copy of these drivers on your system "Rescue CD", or in a folder on your hard disk.
You can also locate these drivers on the motherboard manufacturer's website.
Succes ermee, want bij mij hielp het!
