Hey all, I recentley upgraded my system to 256ram but when I go into the BIOS to increase the AGP Aperture size to 128 it doesn't let me. I only have a choice of 32 or 64 Im running an Intel i815 mobo. Thanks for the help.

It determines how much of your system memory can be used by an agp graphics card. And there is no need to use more than 64. It won't get you any performance increase. Try and see does going from 32 to 64 improve your performance at all, I sincerely doubt it.
