Hello:

When I was running Win95-C with DirectX 8.0a and ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2x video driver 4.11.2560 . . . I noticed when I ran "dxdiag" (in the DISPLAY section) there were (3) TEST BUTTONS for -

DirectDraw Acceleration
Direct3D Acceleration
AGP Texture Acceleration

Now that I upgraded to Win98SE with DirectX 8.1 and ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2x video driver 4.13.01.2655 . . . there is NO TEST BUTTON for - "AGP Texture Acceleration."

Yet, all (3) Accelerations are "enabled."

QUESTIONS:
Would anyone know why this is?
Is "AGP Texture Acceleration" enabled but doesn't need to be tested?
Or does this mean that "AGP Texture Acceleration" is no longer used (or available)?
