Hello - I have a laptop and a desktop computer, both running XP
professional. The desktop is pretty current - AGP 8x and the laptop has a
hardwired 4x AGP card. Neither, however, has an AGP apperature size setitng
in the BIOS. I found on google a setting for Windows 2000 to manaully set
the AGP apperature, but there doesn't appear to be one for XP.

Any thoughts? The laptop has a 16 MB video and I just want to verify the
total amount of memory it's allocating - and if possible push it up a notch
or two. The PC is fine, with a very new video card and motherboard - but for
my own curriousity find out how much memory is being allocated.

Thanks for any help,

Patrick
 
The book "The BIOS Companion" has a lot of info on AGP aperture size (too
much for me to type here) but it does state that the default of 64Mb is
usually enough.
