GA5AX - AGP 2X

[frustrated gigabyte owner]

I can't seem to get my GA5AX mianboard to run in AGP 2X mode, i've got a matrox g200 which is 2X compatible but all the system info software i use says the mainboard doesn't support 2X, but the manual does.
So if anyone can help with this i would be very glad to know.

The word is that the GA-5AX and all super socket 7 mobos with high end AGP graphics cards (Pretty much anything with 8mb+ other than SiS or Trident chipsets) won't work with an AMD cpu. High end PCI cards will not work properly until a suitable driver is released for the AMD cpu. I have tried several combinations with the GA-5AX, and have found this to be very true on every system. Best video card so far for the GA-5AX is an SiS 6326 AGP 8MB (3D performance sucks but is stable).
