Page 1 of agp aperture size in bios

currently default at 64mb, though i have a 256mb card, have changed it to 256mb and got small speed increase on 3d mark, will this do any damage to the motherboard or should i leave it at 64mb?
thanks

Hi E.D

i read somewhere that it`s best to set the agp aperture size to half
of the graphics cards memory. can`t remember where though!!

try it at 128Mb and run 3D mark, see if there`s much difference
between 128 & 256, probably be minimal.

...is that gasoline I smell?

Hi,
yep run 3d mark2001 with 256mb and 128mb in bios, and oddly enough got slightly better performance with 128 rather than 256. so will see how this goes :)

It may be that you guys could save my life, I`m desperately trying to get into bios to change the aperture for agp.
I have a compaq and cannot get into bios, how did you get into bios?

When booting up a flashing square appears in the top right corner, you should be able to enter the bios by pressing F10.

Having said that most Compaq\Dell\IBM etc BIOS setups are pretty minimal.
