Graphics Aperture
This feature was im-
port for older graphics
cards in the past,
which typically had
only 4MB or 8MB of
onboard memory.
However, most mod-
ern AGP graphics
cards have 32MB or
more, so this setting is
now of much less im-
portance
. In most cas-
es you are unlikely to
need to set the AGP
aperture at more than
32MB
.
