Actually.. the reason they are disabled is quite different
The chipsets they had used were actually defects on the old AGP 6800 cards. They wanted to recycle them from older cards, but the PCI-E cards just didnt meet the low end requirements for recycling the disabled pipes. So they put thsoe chips into AGP cards. So in all reality.. yes, your card might support it unlocked, but it -will- produce artifacts, which is the primary reason they werent used in their older brother counterparts. Some to a lesser degree then others.. so if your able to unlock your pipes and be one of the lucky few without too many artifacts popping up on your screen.. all power to you
