Enable fast writes 845g msi mobo

just downloaded sisoftware sandra and in mainboard information it tells me that my mobo supports fast writes but they are disabled. ?( would this affect video perfomance? and if so how do i enable them?

They are usually enabled in bios or in display properties if they are supported (sisoft sandra is not always right about this). In some cases the hardware may contain the capability but can not be enabled. The actual performance difference is measurable in bench tests but may not be noticed in actual use.

How to disable AGP Fast Write with MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ??

How can I disable AGP Fast Write with the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ? I can't find an option for this in the BIOS !

You wont usually find this option in most MB BIOSES , as the only Option that SOME BIOSES Have is the Option to enable, disable SBA (Side Band Addressing) for the AGP Bus....In order for you to Disable or Enable the FW, You Must have the Option in your Vidio Drivers Controll Panel.....If you have a NVIDIA Card, you Must go to http://www.guru3d.com And Download the program "NVHardpage" and then Open the Program and you wil have the Choice to Enable these options and they will then appear in your Vidio driver CP >> "Activate "Coolbitts" (this is NVIDIAS Overclocking Utility) Activate "Harware Options", and then Activate "AGP Options" and finally Activate "Performance Options"........If you have a ATI Card then you must Download one of thier "Tweeking Utilities".......I will Post the Direct "Link" for NVHardpage in a Minute, just say yes to the Lic.

Kt3 ultra and 9600xt fast write

as some of u may be aware the 9600 family of cards are very picky about fast writes. In order to run games without lock ups/crashes i must enable fast writes. The problem is that when i do, i get corrupt text, lines around my cursors, video lag etc etc. I recently switch to a barton 2500 that is running a 1.87ghz at 133fsb, before i ran an 1800 that did not have any of these problems with fast write enabled. bios and xp recognixed it as a 2500+ and i have the ratio set to auto and memory set to HCLK. I tried varios drivers for the gfx card and all produced the same results. Also tried all combinations of bios fast write on gfx control panel off, on etc. any ideas?
TIA

fast write disabled = game willl lock, the 9600 family of cards are notorious for this, i was able to fix my corrupt text and cursor problem by moving the slider under troubleshooting in the ati panel down a notch. in game im still seeing some problems though, hopefully the game specific forums can give me some help. thiis is really annoying because the dam game ran fine with my 1800 i went to the 5.09 drivers on the reccomendation from another forumite.

MSI 645 ULTRA - DOES IT SUPPORT FAST WRITE -

MSI 645 ULTRA - DOES IT SUPPORT FAST WRITE -
coz i want to enable it so i can get higher 3dmarks score.
so i'm wondering if it supported but i think it doesnt but not sure.
k thx.

I am assuming here, that it is always on and that turning it off isnt a option via the less than robust bios' that MSI gives us. That being said, there is a utility called NVMax that allows you to switch it on and off as well as 2x/4x agp, assuming again, that you have a NVidia graphics card.
Try that Emazy, Im curious to see if you get lockups like I do when I check it off. For me at least, it appears to be on, but greyed out. Sisoft says that it is capable of fastwrites but not enabled.
As I mentioned before and as Assaf confirmed, the difference is negligeable and in most cases causes to instability.
I think Fast Writes was as big a hype as MMX was. :]

Fast writes enabled in BIOS but not in Windows 2000

WPCID and SiSoft Sandra report that fast writes is disabled despite being enabled in BIOS. When fast writes are enabled with NVMax, all games crash within 30 seconds.

MSI 645Ultra bios 1.9B1 with Fast-Writes option.

you can get it from here:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/boris_m/ms-6547-191.zip
Im using it btw.

nah not official... remember when i was complaining about this board that it doesnt support fast-write and stuffs.... well that complaint got the msi engineer going... assaf gave me this bios to test it out and i hooked boris with it also... so feel free to test it...
as for me it seems nothing so far... it just feels like they added option on the bios for it, nothing amazing really =D

MSI 865PE-NEO2-FIS2R AGP Speed & fast writes

Does anyone know how to enable either or both of these items I have just purchased an ATI 9800 Radeon and my AGP speed is only 4X and fast writes are not enabled ?

First let me say thanks for your input.
From within my driver tab SMARTGART I have 2X, 4X, 8X it is set at 4X if I slide the slider to 8X it makes me reboot and it's still at 4X.
I Have a P4c 2.40 @ 3.0 Ghz
Thermalright SLK-947-U with a 92mm fan
Hercules All In Wonder 9800 SE softmodded drivers turning it into a 9800 Pro
OCZ PC4000 Dual Channel 4 x 256 MB CL3 DDR EL Memory @ 500Mhz
4x Maxtor 80GB Hard Drives
If I put the same card into my other computer with an AMD XP3200 on an Asus A7N8X it boots into windows by default at AGP 8X
Any ideas ? I know some motherboards I have had have this option in the bios.

Can't enable HDD write caching

I recently upgraded my PC. I am using Vista x64 on a MSI P35 mobo and a Seagate SATA II 250GB drive and a 36GB Raptor (SATA I). It has the newest 1.8 BIOS and newest Intel AHCI drivers.
The problem is this: I can't enable write caching on either hard drive in the Device Manager. It is there to check but below it it says something like "This device does not support write caching."
Now I am not dumb, and the Raptor used to have write caching enabled on my old nForce4 mobo in Vista. I have AHCI enabled in the mobo BIOS too. Does anybody kno what is causing this?
Also, does anybody knw of any good utilities that will tell me the fatures that are enabled (NCQ, SATA 3.0, etc..) that doesn't require an install? I just like to execute utilities and get results without installing stuff (like CPU-Z and GPU-Z).

Hi,
By default, write caching is disabled on a disk that contains the Active Directory database (Ntds.dit). Also, write caching is disabled on a disk that contains the Active Directory log files. By doing this, you enhance the reliability of the Active
Directory files.
Thus if it is a DC, try to move the Active Directory database and the Active Directory log files off of a disk in which you need to enable write caching.

MS-6380 and AGP Fast Writes?

Greeting All! :D
I have a K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo and recently bought a Radeon 9700. After a clean install of WindowsXP and installing the newest drivers for everything I have a machine that runs stable, but I'm not getting quite the performance I was expecting. After a bit af tweaking I was able to get my framerates and 3DMark scores respectable, but I can't enable AGP Fast Write. Trying to enable AGP FW causes a complete system meltdown. My question is, does this motherboard support AGP FW and if so, does anyone with this mobo use it and how much does it increase performance?
Thanks,
Robb

I do use that MB w/ AGP FW enabled and my system remains stable under 98SE and Xp pro, however I'm only using a Ti200 nvidia based card. So drivers may be the problem as ATi is famous for their driver issues, keep in mind that card is fairly new and it usaully take ATi awhile to get everything together.

How to enable fast user switching remotely via SSH?

There is a Mac which at the moment doesn't allow fast user switching. I have admin account on this Mac. Currently, another user is logged in, so I can access the Mac only via SSH. I don't want to destroy the session of that user otherwise the user can loose important data.
Can I enable fast user switching by accessing the Mac via SSH?

Try this:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences MultipleSessionEnabled -bool YES

Nvidia and fast writes

Hii, it seem then when running the sysinfo tool, the Fast writes on my nvidia is disable.
when running
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card
and
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge
it does say that my card support this mode, I have tried adding to my Xorg.conf the line under section "device"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "true"
and still nada, Can some one please help me out here?

EAD wrote:Yes I know not everyone have these, but every one with Nvidia new card has it:)
Any way, How did you know it? (adding these lines to modprobe)
Where can I read about it?
I've done it waay-back on my previous Slackware installation. modinfo nvidia gave me a hint how to do it. Now, there are guides for it:

It all depends on your specific hardware. I've never had problems with it.

Nvidia fast writes

Well, my problem is with a geforce fx 5600 on a amd64 running nvidia's 64bit driver i only get 2300fps with composite extension. I am using renderaccel and nvagp, but people tell me they seem to be getting twice that. So i was wondering if anyone knew how to force fast writes. My motherboard seems to support (checked the bios, sba and fast writes are enabled), the card seems to support it (check /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card), but its still not enabled. sba seems to work according to /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status, but fast writes is disabled. as you can tell i'm trying to squeeze as much out of this card as possible its overclock by 77mhz...

Fast Writes Supported But Disabled

I've got a KT4 Ultra (without FISR) and a Radeon 9000 (without Pro).
I've got FastWrites enabled in my BIOS, but every program I use says that it is disabled.
I've tried some drivers and it's all the same.
I've also tried to enable it with smartgart and some tweak programs, but every time I reboot, it is disabled.
(I have to reboot every time I enable this if I want changes to take effect)
Why does it happen?
Do I have to flash my BIOS 8o ?
It's all another KT4 problem?
Maybe it's a Radeon 9000 problem?
By the way, I have the VIA 4.43 Drivers and the Radeon 6166 and 6193 drivers for XP.
Sorry for my english.

Hi,
Have you tried with PowerStrip?
Enabling AGP Fast Write is done by the display card itself. The BIOS actually "facilitates" the display card if it supports this feature.
You might want to contact your Radeon 9000 manufacturer to confirm on this.

AGP Fast Writes

Is there a way to enable AGP Fast Writes on a K7T Turbo2 system board? Other than using WPCRedit?
Why is it not a BIOS item?

Hi,
This is an videocard item, as the videocard can turn them off by default as well.....
What card are we talking about?
