    AGP frequency

    I hav a an Epox 8RDA mobo and a Radeon 9800 pro. I was just wondering what I should set the AGP frequency to in the BIOS?
    Default is 100mhz.

    default should be 66mhz i thought, is 100mhz not kamakazie, the nf7-s only allowed up to 99mhz.

    Yup AGP is designed to work at 2xPCI so 66.7mhz. AGP2x, 4x and 8x obviously work at 2x66, 4x66 and 8x66mhz. However running this faster does NOT yield a speed boost, even the top cards don't need more than AGP4x can offer (266mhz), this is only the speed out of the AGP slot and does not impact the actual speed of the card. All you're likely to do by running the AGP faster than 66mhz is give yourself headaches and stress your kit needlessly. A maximum that is considered safe is 72mhz (PCI = 36mhz on divider based mobos), ATI cards tend to be much more picky about this than nVidia ones.
