Some other questions concerning the Graphics Ultra +

o   What is the speed difference between the Plus with and without
    Memory Aperture being enabled? Currently I have a plus running
    with Mem. Ap. disabled using the Build 53 drivers, and Wintach
    tells me the card is about 2/3 as fast as the ATI 8514 Ultra I
    had up to now. That's not what I expected. Especially pull down
    menues seem to take ages to appear.

o   Can the Mem. Aperture be enabled on systems with 16MB memory?
    An ATI technician told me this; it could be set even beyond 32MB.
    The Install program coming with the card only allows the range 0-15MB,
    which is occupied by system memory.

/T.H.
