and what on earth it is?
 
4xagp has always worked in my box without any problems, I presume that the hack is for older via chipsets?

its not well known but AGP 4x is not by default enabled with nVidia drivers. Powerstrip and other programs might report AGP 4x is working but the drivers are not using it.
 
here is the hack which has been updated to work with detonator XP drivers. This will NOT work on older versions of nVidia drivers.
 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

to make it work on older versions change the nv to nv4 then it will work.
