AGP aperture in BIOS

Hello again, there is another question you can help me with.
I have NVIDIA TNT PRO VGA with 32 MB on it. In BIOS there
is a choice of several VGA apertures. Should I use 32MB size,
or something else? (I have W98SE, 256MB RAM, 20GB HD).
Thanks very much for your answer.

Welcome to TechIMO!

The AGP aperature should be configured to 1/2 of your system memory. In this case, 128MB.

Adrian does not always follow Intel engineering specs for BIOS settings.
