What would this do?

This is a discussion about What would this do? in the Windows Hardware category; Im wondering if this would do anything to speed me up? In Bios there's a setting for the video memory cache mode and the settings are UC (uncacheable) and USWC (uncacheable, speculative write combining) Does the GF2MX support this feature? The mobo manual says if things arent set right, might not be able to boot up ...

In Bios there's a setting for the video memory cache mode and the settings are UC (uncacheable) and USWC (uncacheable, speculative write combining) Does the GF2MX support this feature? The mobo manual says if things arent set right, might not be able to boot up at all.
 
Here are the mobo and graphics card: Asus A7V 1007 bios and Hercules Prophet 2 MX.

It apparently does nothing that I can tell...
probably one of those scare tactics used to stop you from messing around.

USCW is suppose to speed up graphics performance. It works on my ancient TNT2 so i'm guessing the newer nvidia cards will work as well. Only problems you'll come accross is if you enable it on a piece of crap S3 virge/trio card

Ive played around with it, and it only slows things down, but the only way I know is by running 3dmark 2000 and its just down by 15 or less points---in otherwords it does jack for you with video cards in recent history.
