AGP Aperature Size?

[Ivedog]

AGP Aperature Size:

Just what is this setting? My setup menu gives me the option of 64 or 256. Any advice as to which one I should set it for? I have no idea what it's for.  

Thanks for any help!

IORC it's supposed to be set at half of yer ram.  Does oz understand correctly that you have only 64 or 256 as options?  Oz would prolly go with 64 on the safe side.  Not even sure what the AGP aperture impacts, tho recall someone sometime back had posted a pretty good explanation.

1/2 ram is usually recommended.

Hmmm.. thanks for the info, guys.

I'll set 'er to 64 for now.

its a setting for "extra" texture. what your card cant deal with goes to a preset amount of system ram. but the "size" is a limit of what the card is aloud to use. 64 megs is MORE then enough for most game applications.
