I have an IBM Aptiva 2171-585.  I just purchased and installed a new
Creative Labs 3D Blaster Riva TNT2 Ultra AGP. I am not getting hardware
acceleration, only software. In the booklet that came with the card it said
if this happens go into the CMOS and change the AGP aperture size to 8mb or
more. Well I went into my BIOS(which is the same as the CMOS, right?) and
there is nowhere to adjust this setting. Is there somewhere else to adjust
this setting? Will this even work?  What should I adjust the AGP aperture
size to? The Booklet says 8mb or more, kind of vauge. Is there anything else
I could try?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Jason
