AGP Aperture Size Question

O

Retired SOH Admin
What does the AGP Aperture Size do? Is a bigger Aperture better than a smaller one?

My system:

Win XP Home, SP3, fully updated
Asus P4SD-LA mother board (at 99 degree F)
P4 3.0Gig processor (at 130 degrees F)
2 1-Gig PS3200 Ram sticks
Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS (512Meg) (at 124 degrees F)
160Gig HD (at 102 degrees F)
DVD ROM
DVD/CD Burner
Media Card Reader (built in)
8 USB 2.0 ports

AGP Version 3.0
AGP Speed 8X
AGP Aperture 64Mb

Would increasing the size of the aperture improve graphics performance, make no difference, make my system unstable?

Time to do my monthly shut down, pull out, open up and dust out....temps have climbed a bit over the normal "clean" temps. Ambient room temp is 75 degrees F.
 
Its how much of your physical memory (system) the vid card can use if it runs out of onboard memory. As its set now 64mb will be used. But being that you have 512mb of vid card memory I don't think upping the AAS (AGP Aperture Size) would do anything as you won't be using all that memory.
