I dont think your motherboard supports 4x agp for starters, and second, your not missing out on much..4x agp over 2x agp is benchmarked to be something like 2% faster, no big deal.

None of the BX line of motherboards support 4x that I know of. Maybe a late revision mainbaord by Abit would, but I doubt it. And you won't see much difference over 2x.

I tried to up my mobo to 4x as well....i have same video card but a 440bx. I moved the jumper settings on the mobo and it worked fine...in windows. When i went to play Diablo2 comp frooze, and it kept doing it. 4X is not that much faster...from what i hear from friends...so, just leave it @ 2x like me

Lo there,

the Intel SE440BX-2 does not support APG 4X. It supports a maximim of AGP 2X with side banding.

Your graphics card does and you can set it to 4X on the card, but it will still use AGP 2X.

PowerStrip is an excellent utility, and lets you change from 1x,2x and 4x, if your mobo supports it.
