Yes I know not everyone have these, but every one with Nvidia new card has it:)
Nope, I got an nvidia geforce 2 mx - it supports SBA, but not fastwrites.
Got to try SBA though, never tried it before.

Any way, How did you know it? (adding these lines to modprobe)
Where can I read about it?
:?:
I've done it waay-back on my previous Slackware installation. modinfo nvidia gave me a hint how to do it. Now, there are guides for it:

I remember reading quite a few times on nvnews.net that having Fast Writes enabled can potentially cause instability.
It all depends on your specific hardware. I've never had problems with it.

Works great, why isn't it the deafult?
Because it's hardware-specific. Take a look here:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge
Host Bridge: PCI device 1106:3189
Fast Writes: Supported
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 8x 4x
Registers: 0x1f000a1b:0x00000b12
Not everyone has these pretty supported flags on
]]>alias char-major-195* nvidia
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
Works for me:
[neuro@wintermute:~] cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status: Enabled
Driver: AGPGART
AGP Rate: 8x
Fast Writes: Enabled
SBA: Enabled
Edit: Oh, and this requires reinserting the module. So either reboot or
init 3
modprobe -r nvidia
init 5
