Need opinions and advice on using a Radeon 9800 Pro with Nvidia Nforce2 mobo

[BuddhaBear]

Hey all,
I'm going to be getting the Radeon 9800 Pro pretty soon
and was wondering if anyone is already using it in a Nvidia Nforce2
mobo? Any problems? I'm pretty sure there won't be, but I just want
to make sure. TIA!

I have an ASUS A7N8XDeluxe (nForce 2 based) mobo, and an ATI 9600 Pro.
Works great (except in Red Hat, but... y'know).

No problems here under Windows XP.

Morgan, have you got 8x agp and fastwrites working too?

As far as I can tell I have, I've certainly turned them on in the GUI at
some point.

Radeon cards do not support agp8x + fastwrites. Leave fw off in
the bios.

Are you sure about that? I'm certain that I've turned both AGP 8X and fast
writes on. Can't for the life of me work out where I did it though, it
doesn't seem to be in the display properties. It might have been when I
installed the drivers.

In which planet?

I have a Rdeon 9800 pro on Abit nf7-s (nforce2) and it works with agp8x
and fastwrites from the beginnig.

You're right. I checked it again and it works fine on my nforce2 board
+ 9700p. I seem to recall earlier radeons did have a fw problem, but oh
well.
