AMD-761™ System Controller Software/BIOS Design Guide
Preliminary Information
Programming Notes
Fast writes are disabled by default and are indicated in the status bit that reports this capability. Setting the FW_Enable bit
in the AGP 4X Dynamic Compensation register (Dev 0:F0:0xB4, bit 7) sets the FW bit in this register to indicate support of
this feature. Fast writes are enabled when both the FW_Enable bit (in the AGP 4X Dynamic Compensation register) and
the Fast_Writes bit in the AGP Command register are set.
AGP 4X transfers are supported and the 4X status bit is set by default in this register. This bit can be overridden by setting
the 4X_Override bit in the AGP 4X Dynamic Compensation register (Dev 0:F0:0xB4, bit 6).
