    Enabling AGP? HL2 Performance!

    I have poor performance when playing HL2. I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and use a MSI KT8 Neo Platinum motherboard, the bios has been updated using LiveUpdate. I always use Omega drivers and have installed 2.6.87 but the options under Smartgart do not seem to take effect after restarting the PC.
    Im not sure why the AGP is not taking effect as it is currently set to Off although I enable it in the motherboard bios and save before exit.
    Any solutions?

    Thats the motherboard drivers missing or not installed correctly. Used to have exactly the same probs when I had my Rad 9600 Pro card.

    I used to install the Radeon Drivers and it would show the same thing so after installing those I installed my VIA chipset drivers and the Smartgart AGP enabled immediately after the reboot.
