Hi, :) I have a little problem here :D i had a geforce 4 mx 440 8x 64MB DDR Graphics card but ive bought a new one: ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB when i go into BIOS then select Advanced chipset features select AGP & PSp bridge control and then AGP aperture size it shows the memory as 64MB which was my old card but my new card has 256MB. is it safe to put it to 256MB or does AGP aperture size mean something else? thanx alot ;) Death gotta be easy coz life is hard Ill go my own way... www.freewebs.com/evilmaiden HackerzNmaster@gmail.com We need to pass the torch and let our children read our sad and messy history

AGP Aperture size refers to the amount of system ram that your graphics card can use. With 256mb of it's own you need not alter the aperture setting. You could reduce it to zero thereby ensuring all your system ram is available for windows and none of it is reserved for graphics. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and his wife will never forgive you.

I've heard the optimal setting for the AGP aperture size is 25% of your total system ram. I'm not really played with the setting and it doesn't seem to make too much of a difference. My Homepage is a golden shower of opportunity
