Unfortunately, AGP is such a black art that the only thing we can hope for is to find a default configuration that works everywhere or at least on as many systems as possible. The evidence so far seems pretty clear that 1x is most stable on setups that support it. (Also, FWIW, you'll probably have a hard time measuring any significant performance differences at higher rates)

Now I'm confused - I took comment #8 to mean that Option "AGPMode" "1" makes it stable under all circumstances. If that's not the case, please elaborate.
