I assume he's talking about AGP Acceleration....
but like I said it's helped with the SIMS>

How much ram do you have? To really get agp accel to work in XP you need your agp aperature set at 128megs, that would require you to have at least 256 megs of system ram. With XP the more the better. Least amount I would recommend is 512.

Some people say they have gotten it to work with a 64 meg aperature, most people can't. XP loves lots of RAM.

Here's the link to the thread, there they are also discussing the ill effects of the VIA 4 in 1 drivers and XP.....

What ya think fellas?
