I have an Intel Motherboard AGP 4X, 512 MB, Bus 400 MHZ , with pentium 4 -
1.7 Ghz , I was checking the Bios Setup, and I found in the video setup, the
option of the AGP Aperture that can be 64 mb v/s 256 mb. Actually is set to
64. If I change it to 256 mb, does improve or affect the performance of my
graphic card (ATI 9600 pro)???

The performance difference between the settings is minimal. I have mine set
to 128MB. If somebody only had 256MB of ram they should set the AGP to 64MB.

What if I am running with 1.5GB of ram?

Different settings don't improve performance so 128MB would still be fine
with 1.5GB of ram.
