Xabre Drivers
The drivers for the Xabre600 only provide the bare minimum of tweakability and, moreover, even less options are accessible through the usual right click on the desktop, the same holds for the Control Panel. The only way to access some of the advanced options is via the Xabre icon in the taskbar which then opens up the pull-up menu with the different options.

Most of the advanced options are in the "Application" submenu.
The "Display properties" opens another navigation screen for the General Information about the AGP adapter. Note that the memory clock is listed as 314 MHz instead of the specked 300 MHz/


Note the pink screen in the Window. In real life, the window features a head picture with a wireframe model behind it, however, that image is generated somewhere in the background and eludes any screen capturing attempt we have tried. It appears, though as if this screen is simply a forgotten control panel since the same gamma correction is featured in a more elaborate fashion in another screen

This one appears to be the more recent version.

The 3DWizard contains the rest of the settings with the Anti Aliasing options within the D3D and OpenGL menus. Interesting is that there is no slider to adjust texture quality or Level of Detail (LOD). The overclocking slider goes up to 350 MHz, which is decent enough.
