AGP memory is only 32MB?

[Wombat]

Hi folks,
Haven't been able to solve this problem yet. Even though my aperature is 128MB, dxdiag reports 32MB total video memory available. It used to be 70+ MB with my G200.
I'm running the 4.61 AGP patch, 5.52 drivers, and I've tried USB on,off, reinstalling path & drivers.
I haven't forced AGP 1x yet, but I will if y'all think that might help.
No IRQ conflicts, and the G400 is on IRQ 9.

I can't think of anything else that might help...

Nobody has ideas? C'mon, it can't be that hard...

Rob, what dxdiag tells me is that I have:

System memory: 256Mb
Swap file: 78Mb used, 171Mb available
AGP memory monitor 1: approx. 16Mb
AGP memory monitor 2: approx. 16Mb

With the old DirectX (4.0 and later till 5.x), it would report the Apertured part of physical memory as AGP memory as well. I think that's the problem

Try DirectX7 Control Panel (have to download it) in the DirectDraw tab:

The memory available to DirectDraw is the AGP texturing memory.

It´s more reliable, I think.

Thanks guys.
That's what I was thinking of, Jorden. I thought it used to include the aperture.
