Can i set the agp aperture size to a size more than i have on my graphics card? i brought Age of Empires (RON) and realised that my sys requirements dont match at the AGP card ... required an AGP card with atleast 16mb .... i've got one with 8mb.... is there any software (or manual method) to proxy the aperture size to at least 16mb... maybe something that creates a pagefile for the remaining 8mb... i've already set it from the BIOS to 64M but that dose'nt help...

Are you sure it needs a 16MB graphics card? From what I remember, Age Of Empires needed nothing more than a P90 with 16MB RAM and a 1MB VESA video card. I think in the BIOS you set the OS/2 system setting if you have 64MB of RAM, that won't alter the RAM sive. If you card is on-board, then you should find a setting if it uses system RAM. Other than that, just install the game. It'll worked.

Its Age of Empires (Rise of Nations) in the Readme file it says... "Rise of Nations requires a personal computer running either Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition. It is also required that your computer have a processor speed of 500 megahertz (MHz) or higher, at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM, and a 16 MB video card." my graphics card is not onboard. its a SIS 6326 (AGP slot) still dosent work

Well, whatever game it is, your graphics card is the problem. The SiS 6326 has a lack of support for DirectX and none for OpenGL. If you try to run Quake 3 on it, the command console will tell you that the card has no OpenGL support. There are no drivers that enable support so your only choice is to upgrade. A Geforce 2 MX 400 can be picked up so cheap now, it'll work fine with one of them.

Hey! thats true! I did'nt try Quake..... but tried Return to castle Wolfestien and it uses open GL .... it said could not initialize opengl subsystem.! so my only option now is a new grapics card huh? strange .. since AOE Age of Kings worked fine....
