AGP 2X Mode

Common Options : Enabled, Disabled

Quick Review

This BIOS feature is a toggle for the motherboard's AGP 2X support.

When enabled, it allows the AGP bus to make use of the AGP 2X transfer protocol to boost the AGP bus bandwidth. If it's disabled, then the AGP bus will only use the standard AGP1X transfer protocol.

The AGP 2X protocol must be supported by both the motherboard and graphics card for this feature to work. Of course, this feature will only appear in your BIOS if your motherboard supports the AGP 2X transfer protocol!

So, all you need to do is make sure your graphics card supports AGP 2X transfers. If it does, enable AGP 2X Mode to take advantage of the faster transfer mode. Disable it only if you are facing stability issues or if you intend to overclock the AGP bus beyond 75MHz with sidebanding support enabled.
