| AGP aperture size ? Hi, Just got an Fx5900 ultra , and am wondering about AGP aperture size . I can set it to 512 max, and have 1024 RAM. From the Abit manual , this is the amount of windows (?) memory allocated to the AGP aperture. So I should set this to 512 , having plenty of free RAM. Am I correct in this ? Didnt notice any improvement in 3D Mark 2003 scores. Thanks for the help, Gerry

| You won't see any difference in 3d points no matter what you set it to. This setting won't have any impact on speed. Just set it to say 64mb and forget about it.
