AGP aperture

if i'm not mistaken, this is how you can "lend memory" to the Video card? will increasing this improve performance at all? i currently have increased it from 64 to 128mb but not sure if increasing it more will improve performance further.

This is a very debatable topic, and there are many different theories on this, but the general consensus is that it does not make a huge difference either way. I currently have mine set to 64mb, and that is a very common value used.

It doesn't have anything to do with "lending memory" i dont think, and I have run mine at all different settings...from 64 to 512 and it seems to make little to no difference. I would just have it set at however much RAM your video card has
