What purpose does this serve? Does it matter if it is on or off? By default both my video card and my bios have it on? What does this mean? Thanks for the help.
 
Hmm. Just for kicks I went into my bios and changed everything back to the default settings, and fastwrite is enabled. Some people say to disable it, what is the purpose?
 
Simply put, when ON, fastwrite will not verify data on the AGP bus therefore a performance increase might be noticed. However, many chipsets, namely the older ones have problems with this instruction and it may cause system instability. From tomshardware article, an increase of 10% has been noticed. If you do not notice any system instability, enable it, otherwise, leave it off.
