Well, to begin with, fastwrites usually have to be enabled in the BIOS first, then turned on using a third party utility like <a href="http://guru3d.com/rivatuner/" target="_blank">RivaTuner</a> or the <a href="http://guru3d.com/geforcetweakutility/" target="_blank">GeForce Tweak Utility</a> (GTU).

Sideband addressing can be turned on simply by using one of the aforementioned utilities.

As for which util to use, that's up to user preference. Personally, I think the GTU is easier to use and clearer, but it hasn't been updated in a while. RivaTuner seems to be geared more to the advanced users, but it works great, too.

Hope this helps.
