AGP Aperture size and GeForce lockups

[DevOXide]

Hi all !

Any gurus here who can solve this one ?

I have read several places about what size the AGP Aperture size (in bios) should be set to. (Most recomend 64Mb). I have tried all (4, 8, 16, 32 Mb). When i reach 64 and above, everything locks up when I try to start a game.

Anyhow this is my prob.:
When i set the size to 64Mb or more, my card/copmuter completely locks up when I try to play any games or run 3D Mark 2000.
In addition I seem to get the best performance with 16Mb, rather than with 32....????

My HW spec:
- P2 350, Aopen AX6BC Motherboard
- 256 Mb RAM
- Asus V7700 GeForce 256 GTS with 64Mb
DDR ram.

It does not matter if I use the NVIDIA reference drivers or Asus's.

Anyone have a workaround or know why this is happening ?? Or maybe I should just leave it at 16Mb or 32Mb ?
Does this have any performance significance over using 64Mb and above?

I would be very glad if someone could help me out here...

Best regards

Is this the millennium edition, and do you have the latest bios installed?

No it is not the millennium edition. I do not
have the exact spec on my mobo in my head...I'll
post here with more info as soon as I get my ass back home
from work...

The AGP Aperture size rule of thumb is to set it to 1/2 of the amount of RAM in your system. (in your case 128MB) Have you tried it there? I have mine set at 128MB, and all is well.

Just do a Google search for "AGP Aperture size" and I promise you will find what you're looking for.
(If you don't fint it here of course!)
