'AGP Aperture size' refers to the amount of your system RAM that'll be used by your GeForce2 Pro to store textures in should the cards own memory be filled up. Setting it at 64MB is the usualway. You could set it a 1/2 your system RAM, too.

Keep it at 64...But like LuciferHaze said, you can also put it to 1/2 your system ram.. I've tried 64 and 128 but didn't see a difference... Why don't you benchmark under both settings and see what you get ??

64MB is the right setting for yours,128mb is really for if you`ve 256mb main ram even then you don`t really need that much.
