I have seen that before on my old computer, but in this one there is no mention of my AGP apperture or anything to do with graphics or even sound? I fitted the graphics and sound cards myself and they seem to work. Is there something I'm missing in the bios?	Murr (1042)

494327	2006-10-26 01:59:00	I havent heard of many cases where AGP aperture size affect whether a game will run or not, chance are something else is causing your problem. As Greg as suggested you'll need to provide a few more details such as motherboard, video card, game your trying to play and the problem your having. Have a read of this (www.tweak3d.net) its a lil dated but AGP cards havent exactly changed alot over time.	Pete O'Neil (6584)

Set your aperture size to 128, that should be more than enough. I've always used this setting and very rarely have had a problem with it. Cheers chiefnz	chiefnz (545)

Cheers chiefnz I always thought the aperture size was supposed to be half your system RAM, not the card RAM up to 256Mb, after that, it doesnt matter	SolMiester (139)
