| | Hi
I just got this computer last week and its running great , bar a few small probs.
Today i have noticed that my AGP Aperture size is set to 64mb
My card is a nVIDIA Geforce 6200 256MB AGP
I was just wondering if it is at all possible that i can change the aperture size to 128 or 256.
I just done today a bios update ,but i still see no setting for me to be able to configure this option.
I just manage to get the agp slot running at 8x ,as it was at 4x when i got the computer. I think the bios update fixed that ,but am still not making any progress in fixing the Aperture size.
There is no options in the bios to fix this and also no options in the nVIDIA control panel to adjust this .
Any tips or info on this matter will be greatly appreciated

Why would you want to waste so much ram? For a card like a 6200, 256 mb of video ram is overkill. Why? Well, the usage of more ram typically means the video card is running better-quality stuff. A card as weak as a 6200 will probably be fine up to 128mb of video ram, past that, performance will be so slow that it wouldn't matter if you had 256 gigs of video ram, performance still wouldn't change. I highly recommend setting the aperture size to something like 16 mb or lower if you can, there's absolutely no reason to have it with this card. Now if you had something like a 7950gx2 256 mb, then it would be a different story.

Some games require more AGP aperture size to run more smoothly. I remember the time I was playing DOOM 3. And I was trying to set the game at its maximum screen resolution, I got a warning that unless I have up to 256MB of aperture size, the game might have performance problems and when I finally increased my aperture size to 512MB (it was previously on 128MB), I noticed a considerable increase in performance at the increased resolution. Though I was not using the GeForce 6200. It was a GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 128MB of video memory. But, yea, it surely did help to have the higher aperture size in there with that card. I think you should consider setting your aperture size to about 128MB with your card if your mobo BIOS supports this kinda tweak.

I think the video card you ran D3 on would allow about a low detail setting, therefore, not using much video ram in the first place. Setting the aperture size that big is a complete waste of system ram that could have been used elsewhere.

Graphics Card
(4) The first graphic card, introduced in August of 1981 by IBM, was Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA).
The monitors that used these cards were typically text-only with green, amber or white text on a
black background. Color for IBM-compatible computers appeared on the scene with the 4-color
Hercules Graphics Card (HGC), followed by the 8-color Color Graphics Card (CGA) and 16-color
Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA). When IBM introduced the Video Graphics Array (VGA) in 1987, a new
graphics standard came into being. A VGA display could support up to 256 colors (out of a possi....

but it looks like that the new macbook has its graphics capabilities somewhat intergrated with the
intel chip. this puts more processing calls on the processor and less on the graphics card causing a
lower graphics speed and performance. the old g4 did not do this, it only had the graphics card do
it seperatly. the thing with the macbook is that it is a daul core so this could hel....
