Default AGP mystry

Hi all

I have fair knowledge of most things.
I taught Stephen Hawkins most of What he knows and women do not pose too much of a threat to me anymore.

However, can someone please try and explain this to me:

I have downloaded and installed the lates display drivers for my G card, ATI Radeon A9200 128MB. Now I have myself a lovely control pannel. One of the tabs of this lovely pannel is the 'SMARTGART(tm)' tab which can potentialy set the AGP speed. I say potentialy because I can never change any of the settings.
Please see attachment.

Now if I do change any of the settings, it asks if I wish to restart the computer in order for the changes to take effect. I click on yes but upon restart the pannel resets to the same state.

In my chipset settings in BIOS, my AGP speed is set to Auto (can be X4, X8 or Auto) and I enabled fast write. However this mystery remains if I disable fast writing and set the AGP speed to X8.

Now I have not got any special problems and the computer is working absolutly fine. But I still think that maybe I am missing out?
