Hello grassi,
The AGP setting should be set to the same as what your graphics card supports. It could be that your graphics card is only a 4X AGP card if so changing to 8X wouldn't be a wise idea.
Have you tried researching your card as to what it supports?

okay, i thought by the info i read in EVEREST, that it supports 8x, also supporting 1,2 and 4x. But maybe im understanding it wrong, im new at this, but am able to figure things out. If your familiar with EVEREST i can say this; when i go to my +motherboard option and click the "+" which brings down a drop menu, then i can click chipsets for an option and i see there there the following info. And at the very bottom (permance penalty) is what led me here.

According to VIA the KM400A does support 8X.
What make and model is your PC?
Have you tried contacting their support department?

I've looked at the motherboard specs and it says that the motherboard has a 8X AGP slot but it doesn't say anything about the integrated graphics card being 8X. It's possible that the integrated graphics card is only 4X and that's why it's telling you about performance.
I'm gonna ask some of the other staff here if they can have a look at this thread to see what they think.

Can you download and run CPU-Z it's a freeware system information tool.
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Run the file, click the mainboard tab and under graphic interface it should display the current transfer rate.
Can you put that information into your next post.

I read that information yesterday. It says that the motherboard supports 2X/4X/8X but it doesn't say what the integrated graphics card runs at.
I think you should contact Asus tech support.
