graphic aperture size?

[nny]

i just built a rig with a 9800 pro, and the BIOS (ASUS deluxe) is showing 64meg graphic aperture size. is this correct, or shouldnt it be 128?

THe apptiture size is the amount of system ram the Video card is allowed to use not the physical amount on the card. It has no real effect on performance since with a 9800 pro has 128 MB anyways so system Ram isn't really needed. Any ways u can leave it at 64 or set it to 128 it doesn't really matter.

A few years ago with a Radeon 32mb, the apperture changes made a difference. It ran faster and was more stable at 256mb setting. It can depend on the motherboard and the vid card on the impact. Wouldnt hurt to try 128 or 256.
