AGP Apperture Size

[beach2nd]

What is the trick with this bios setting. If I remember it was something like it should be double whatever the amount of memory your video card has. Is this correct?

yea but it's also dependant upon how much ram you have. I'd never set it over 128megs no matter how much ram you have

I see this question constantly being posted in forums.

Your AGP Aperature is said to be set at half your memory. However, I disagree with this. Most of the time you won't be able to go above 128MB without your computer freezing on you.

Keep your Aperature at the default for most boards which is 64MB.
If you experience locks-up or your computer freezes when playing video or using a video editing/capture program, then set it to 32MB.

You should really only play with the setting if your experiencing this problem.

Hope this helps.
