The default seting is probably 64, if your card has 128mb of memory change the bios to 128.

Generally, it is set to half your system RAM. It's where video textures are stored thru the AGP bus. With cards these days having 128 and 256MB RAM, you will notice little difference if any (and it will take benchmarking to show it) by setting it any higher than 64MB

Why would you need a driver update?

Set the AGP aperture to 1/2 your system ram or 128mb, whichever is less.
If you have the front panel audio hooked up, try disconnecting it. I believe 5.1 requires use of all 3 jacks on the back and the correct settings in the audio control panel. |
