Yikes. It still uses AGP 3.0 even if I set it to use 4x speed. It seems that the KT400 chipsets do this as soon as you put a AGP 3.0 compatible card in it. Anyone know if there is any bios which allows falling back to AGP 2.0? Did anyone manage to contact ASUS or VIA support and ask how to set the board to use AGP 2.0 as long as there is a a AGP 3.0 compatible card in it? I cannot seem to be able to reach any of the support lines. :/
