How do I set AGP to 256mb?
Sorry if it´s a stupid question but i cant find a post about it.
Someone told me to change it in BIOS but i haven´t got that option in my BIOS.
Can you set this to 256mb even if you doesn´t have 256 MB RAM?

B.T.W. The new TurboGL-drivers are fantastic. In Q3 my FPS jumped from 23.5 to 34 in 800X600 32bit. YEEAAHHH!!!!

The option is called graphics aperture in my bios. You should find it under advanced settings (depending on your bios type and rev).

If he's got a Compaq or another brand, it's quite likely it's left out.

Yes MoleDK, I´ve got a HP Vectra whith a AMI-BIOS (I think).
I am downloading a uppgraded flashBIOS right now and hopefully this feature will be in this one.

Uppgraded my BIOS, no extra features. Can I set my AGP to 256 in some other way?

Petter,

If you aren't experiencing any problems at all, then don't bother with it. I doubt you can change it unless you get a BIOS that can.

My Athlon runs on a Compaq mainboard. I cannot modify AGP either, but it works quite nicely. I suppose it's either using the amount of memory as base or simply have it at MAX.

After I got it upgraded to 256 Megabytes of RAM, I can run the 64MB Texture benchmark in 3DMark 2K.

I suppose it's the same for you.
