In my AOpen AX6BC mainboard bios there's an option for 'AGP aperture size' with settings starting from 4mb and doubling each time (4, 8, 16, etc). What is this setting? Is it the amount of data sent to the card and should be set at the memory size of the card, or something different? Mine was set to 64mb, and I have an 8mb TNT AGP video card. TIA, Ari -- remove the first 's' and last 'm' from my email address when replying

Set it to half your ram size. Maybe it works ok as long as you set it that size or larger. What does it affect really ? leon

I'm not sure what it affects, I'm not exactly sure what the thing is in the first place! :-) If you know, please share :-) Ari >Set it to half your ram size. >Maybe it works ok as long as you set it that size or larger. >What does it affect really ? > >leon -- Remove first 's' and last 'm' from email address when replying.
