Hidden Bios Settings

I've got a Award Bios 6.00 PG and I want to enable AGP Fast Write.
However it is hidden in CMOS setup. Besides flashing the BIOS with a new
image, is there a program that allows you to directly modify the CMOS?
Also, is it worth it to enable AGP FW anyway? I heard you must keep it
disabled to overclock the graphics card but I don't overclock my
graphics card. Is the performance gain significant enough?

No, the performance gain is so slight it's not worth the
bother.

See if you can determine which chipset register is involved
in setting fastwrites. That is, Google search for this
pertaining to your motherboard's chipset. If you can figure
out which register it is, a program like WPCREDIT might be
able to do it, but again it's not worth the bother really.

Ditto.Waste off effort just like side-band addressing.

Well, I have a SiS 651 chipset. What registers should I change? I can't
find anything on Google unfortunately ;(

Without info there is nothing more we can do and it's ok
since the original answer still applies, it's not worth
pursuing for performance and could even cause instability
(which could be why the setting was disabled and hidden).
