AGP aperture in BIOS

Fred C. · November 30th, 2003, 11:30 AM

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.

It has been recomended to keep the AGP aperture size between 64 and 128mb.

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

64 m is more than addicuate, any more won't be of any benifit
