Default AGP: Fast Write On, or Off ?

Hi All,

I recently read, whilst installing Omega drivers for my ATi Radeon 9800 Pro, that turning AGP Fast Write off can result in "higher / more stable overclocking".

Fast Write supposedly increases the AGP graphics card's performance when on, if this is true it will decrease the performance when off, but if turning it off allows for higher and more stable overclocking, does that mean that overall performance will be higher with Fast Write off, but with a higher overclock and what is difference in achievable, stable o/c between Fast Write on and Fast Write off?

Thanks All !

Thanks guys,

I will test my card's o/c with fast write on and off and see what the difference is.

Hopefully it will help boost my current o/c!
