    [​IMG] So my problem is that I ran system test with Everest program and got results that my AGP slot is not enabled.
    And I couldn't find this mysterious smartgart or gart that is often mentioned.
    I know that it's in (or should be) display->Advanced and from there the tab named gart/smartgart. Any help?
    :( So I was wondering how do you enable it then? I have no clue how to go about it.
    I'll copy&paste Everests' log (only the parts I see necessary, tell me if something else is needed).
