How do I change my AGP speed from 1x to 2x?

    Lo laeds :)
    Ive got a motherboard that supports 2x AGP and a FireGL1 graphics card that also supports 2x, problem is SiSoft Sandra says its set at 1x, now there is no option to change the speed of the AGP to 2x in the bios the only option is for AGP aperature size which has nothing to do with the 1x, 2x deal. Any ideas lads? Should I be looking to change jumpers or a switch on the motherboard or something? All help appreciated laeds :)
    Cheers!

    The drivers for the graphics card more than likely are restricting it to 1x, so try the latest drivers.

    There might also be 3rd party utilities available to enable it if the option isn't presented by the drivers themselves - but only if they do actually support it in the first place (This was the case with early geforce drivers and VIA chipsets, they turned it off and wouldnt give an option to change it, but there were a few utils online to force it)

    is the exact motherboard. I have all the latest drivers for the GFX card and it clearly states inthat review that the board supports 2x. cheers for the help laeds.
