AGP aperture size

[Rick]

Hi I've seen this term talked about in reponse to solving people's questions. I've also seen it in my BIOS and it's currently set to 64mb. Is there a better value for it?

thanks

For the G400, 128 should be better, even if you don´t have that much ram.

I run my (current) system set at 64MB, but I've read that 128MB is better (not tried as my system is just fine as it is).

From what I have read, ,the G400s are AGP Aperture Hungry...lots of posts have are having them at 256...I have 256 Megs of HSDRAM PC133 in my system ,and seem to get the best results with the Aperture set at half my RAM...128M...It will work either at 256 or 64, also (even at 512 or 1 G which the K7M mobo has) but the fastest on 3D Mark , Wintun 98 , and Q3 and UT benchmarking is at 128...Again, this is for my system...play around with it and bench it at various settings and see what you get...
On the previous K7 mobos I tried (FIC and Gigabyte) the thing wouldn't run UT or 3D mark 99 at 256...go figua...
Good Luck
