yes. Both the card and the AGP-part have to support Fw (or SBA) to be able to enable it. You can not switch something on, that is bot there. Maybe a different bios will help you, maybe newer drivers, maybe nothing. It does not matters. Fw&SBA do not give any noticable speed gains. The differences are in the range of statistical noise. On the other hand, Fw&SBA makes a pretty fine system unusable. Ever heard of lockups? I mean, frequent ones? Hourly? I had that, disabling FW in the bios, killing the options-line.. system was back stable. Speed gain? No! Problems? Oh yeah! Don't be worry, you don't miss anything without SBA&Fw.
