Hi boys...

I have one BIG problem...
First of all this is my configuration:

AMD Athlon 600 Mhz
HD Quantum FireballP LM 10 Gb
Yamaha CRW 8424
Adapter SCSI 2904
Hitachi GD-5000

Now...
Why my graphic card have enabled only the AGP 1x for WCPUID?
I have tried to force the AGP 2x with AGP Switch V.001 Alpha and fortunately now i have enabled the AGP 2x but...I NEED THE AGP 4X!!
I'm desperate...
Please help me...

"I NEED THE AGP 4X!!"

No, you don't. That just what marketing monkeys want you to think.
4x provides zero performance improvement in almost everything, and only a slight, un-noticable increase in a couple of games/apps.
2x is just as fast, and more stable.

Aside from 4x being meaningless today, we don't even know that you have a 4x capable G400. Earlier G400s where 2x/4x (2x APG, compatible with 4x slot and voltage). Find the little white sticker on the card, and list the part number (G4+??????).
