I believe agp video cards can snag system ram on an as-needed basis. My understanding of agp aperture is that it is how much of your system ram can be allocated for use by the video card, if needed. So a video card with a large amount of ram should theoretically require less agp aperture because it has enough on-board. As far as what it should be set at, beats me. 128 megs seems like it should be plenty of video ram but I guess that also depends on how hard you tax you video system. Probably safe to leave it at its default. --Tom Wilson _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
