BIOS settings

This is probably a really simple question to answer. I was looking at my BIOS settings and I noticed a setting for the "Graphics Aperture" which was set at 64mb. My GC is a 128mb card, so do I need to increase this aperture setting or not? (If it really is that simple to answer then yes, I am that dim :p )

thats interesting I never knew that

I'm so pleased that it was a "popular misconception" :)

Thanks for the help

I never knew it either... Adrian's BIOS guide is a fantastic resource.

It's useful but doesn't give a definitive answer (well, to us bears of little brain anyway). What should I set my aperture to be when I have an X800XT (256Mb) and 1024Mb of PC3200 RAM? 64Mb? 32? 128?

:)

with that much memory to play with i'd say go with 64mb. maybe even try 32mb first and see if you get any framerate drops.

Thanks, rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishey :)

What will be the benefit of dropping the aperture size? Increased memory available to running programs because the memory reservation has reduced? Have I understood correctly?

...and it will keep the GART at a reasonable size (reading from the site I linked) lol.
