32 bits

This register provides control of the AGP operational parameters.

Bit

 

Description

 

 

31:10

Reserved.

 

 

9

SideBand Address Enable (SBAEN).

 

0

= Disable.

 

1

= Enable.

 

 

8

AGP Enable (AGPEN).

 

0

= The MCH ignores all AGP operations, including the sync cycle. Any AGP operation received

 

 

while this bit is 1 will be serviced, even if this bit is set to 0. If this bit transitions from a 1 to a 0

 

 

on a clock edge in the middle of an SBA command being delivered in 1X mode, the command

 

 

will be issued.

 

1

= The MCH will respond to AGP operations delivered via PIPE# or to operations delivered via

 

 

SBA if the AGP Side Band Enable bit is also set to 1.

 

 

7:5

Reserved.

 

 

4

Fast Write Enable (FWEN).

 

0

= When this bit is set to 0, or when the data rate bits are set to 1x mode, the memory write

 

 

transactions from the MCH to the AGP master use standard PCI protocol.

 

1

= MCH uses the Fast Write protocol for memory write transactions from the MCH to the AGP

 

 

master. Fast Writes occur at the data transfer rate selected by the DRATE bits (2:0) in this

 

 

register.

 

 

3

Reserved.

 

 

2:0

Data Rate (DRATE). The settings of these bits determine the AGP data transfer rate. One (and

 

only one) bit in this field must be set to indicate the desired data transfer rate.

 

001 = 1x transfer mode

 

010 = 2x transfer mode

 

100 = 4x transfer mode

 

Configuration software updates this field by setting only one bit that corresponds to the capability

 

of AGP master (after that capability has been verified by accessing the same functional register

 

in the AGP masters’ configuration space.)

 

Note: This field applies to AD and SBA buses. It also applies to Fast Writes if they are enabled.
