I have a Leadtek Winfast Geforce 2 GTS with 64 megs of video memory and 256 megs of system memory. What would be the best setting number to use for graphics aperture size in the bios? I've read differing thoughts on this. I currently have it set at 128, but I can go as high as 256 or as low as 4 (I think).

Thanks for the knowledge,

Joe Wells

I'd just leave it at 128 MB. I believe it's supposed to be ½ of your system memory.

I heard it was double the Video cards onboard ram. Which also equals to 128mb :)

I read somewhere that 40MB was ideal for speed but it did not make too much difference.

Isn't it the amount of system memory that you allow the agp to use. That way , more sys mem = the More you can allocate to agp aperture. 1/2 as already mentioned would seem to me to be a pretty reliable setting:)
