Well, I ended up having to get a whole new motherboard (thread).

I like the one I got. A Tyan board (s1864 or something like that), which is good because my prior mobo was a Tyan that I liked and it's still going strong in my print server at home.

This new board I just bought is the first AGP-4x capable board I've owned. I've set the proper settings in the BIOS to allow it to do AGP 4x with my 4x-capable GeForce card.

Everything seems to work, my games run fine, etc. My only question is: How can I tell if AGP 4x is really working or not? What software can I run that'll measure the AGP capabilities?

I've already tried the Ziff-Davis 3D WinBench software. What a piece of crap. It forces you to run an hour's worth of quality tests before it'll do any throughput testing. Then, when you try to run the throughput tests, it fails saying that the GeForce card's HAL doesn't allow the features required to perform the tests. I downloaded 80 megabytes for THAT?

Does anyone have any better (preferably simpler) benchmarks I can play with?
