If you have a motherboard with an ALi chipset - Asus A7A266 etc then the reason you are getting 0 AGP memory / no AGP Texture Acceleration is because this chipset effectively has AGP turned off by default. Solution: Go to http://www.guru3d.com/ and get a copy of RivaTuner. Then run rivaTuner: go to power users, click open matched detonator database (button at bottom 2 in from left), From there, find the nearest match to your driver, Expand the option NVIDIA Detonator xxxxxxxxx system, scroll down till you find; EnableAGPFW EnableAGPWStrap EnableAGPSBA EnableAliAGP and make all of the values 1 instead of blank Reboot. This gave me AGP memory and a 30% boost in 3Dmark 2001, and a vast improvement in FPS in Soldier of Fortune II - its now playable. My System: AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz Motherboard Asus A7A266 Bios 1011 (latest) Ali Chipset driver 1.09 (latest) Nvidia Detonator 29.80 RAM 512megs Gainward Ti4200 64 meg

Wow!! this really worked on mine. PIII866, 1GB PC133 Ram, GeForce2 GTS Pro 32MB DDR, Win 2K. I am able to turn the gore back on, use 'high' curve subdivisions, 32 Bit color, etc.. FPS problem seems to be gone! I'm going to try replaying from the beginning and see how the earlier levels play now. But this did work for me!
