AGP question

[filipeg165]

hey, i have a question, i have a geforce FX5600 256mb card and i want to know if theres any difference in FPS when i change in my motherboard BIOS the 4X/8X option, what should i select for best performance? if i leave AA off, is there any difference between these 2 options?

Possibly 1 FPS? Hardly anything.
I would think 5FPS at the max.

GFX cards don't talk to the CPU that much to need the bandwidth.

Put it on 8x

That is just the speed that the mobo communicates with the card. You want the highest.

ok so i just have one more question, its about RAM, i made another thread about this but now its another question, i got the other RAM stick this morning and my motherboard supports dual channel, but i had only one 512 RAM stick on channel A Slot 0, in which slot do i have to put the new 512 stick to get max performance? on channel A Slot 1 or channel B Slot 0? cuz i noticed that if i put it on channel A Slot 1, when i enter my BIOS, it shows that it is running both sticks on single channel, but if i put it on channel B Slot 0, it says its running on dual channel, both sticks are the same, PC3200 400Mhz 512MB

Put the sticks so that your bios says you are running in dual channel mode. For dual channel mode, you usually put your RAM sticks in the first and third RAM slots in your motherboard.
