Same on my 845E. It is enabled by default with no option to disable it
is my guess.
 
VIA P4X266E
I cant enable it. I have the option but it flips back to off after reboot

MSI KT4V/VIA KT400: Fast writes on/off toggle available in BIOS. Turning it
OFF causes performance drop of 2-3%, BUT there is noticeable texture tearing
in the 3DMark2001 game tests (Game 2 and Game 3) and Windows Mouse pointer
corruption (few extra random pixels in the mouse pointer)??!
