PCChips M810LMRT v8.10 & AGP Fast Writes

Is there any way to enable AGP fast writes on these motherboards? they are the ones with integrated processors (this one is the one labeled as Pro 1400+, which is a 950 MHz Duron oc'ed to run @ 1 GHz)

the thing is, I recently bought a 128mb ATi RADEON 9200 AGP card for this motherboard (Asus A9200SE/TDN) and i can't enable any of the AGP acceleration functions: the ati smartgart app doesn't let me enable AGP writing functions, and if i enable AGP reading functions, any 3d app using OpenGL will hang the computer (infinite loop, prevented by ATi VPU Recover)...

anyway, the system specs are these:

Motherboard: PCChips M810LMR V8.1
CPU: 950 MHz AMD Duron running @ 1GHz (9.5x105MHz)
RAM: PC133 512 MB SDRAM (2x256MB modules)
VGA Card: Asus A9200SE/TDN, 128MB, AGP8x (running @ 4x)
BIOS Release: will check soon, after i restart my PC
OS: Windows 2000 SP4, recently installed, with all updates and DirectX 9.0c
Driver: latest ATi drivers (v6.14.10.6512, 19/jan/05), tried both the ones with Catalyst control panel and the ones without it. SiS GART Drivers v7.2.0.1170 (18/jul/03)

if anyone has a clue on how to solve this, please answer!!

thanks in advance!

EDIT:

M810 BIOS Release: 05/13/2003 S
M810 BIOS ID: 62-0513-01131-00101111-071595-SiS730S-M810LR7-H

i was thinking, this motherboard seems to have a stripped-down bios setup app. maybe trying a full m810 motherboard bios in it will work, as those (the older ones, which didn't have the embedded processor) had the agp fast write on/off option in the setup...

Sure about it being a V8.1?

sorry about that... you're right, it's a v7.1c, as said in the bios ID and in the BIOS sticker...
