I have a pny geforce fx 5200 ultra 128mb ddr video card and 128mb pc133 ram. Wat should my aperture size be.

how much system ram do you have?

[gentry_joey]

pc 133 128mb

64mb aperture size.

I would go with 32 Mb apperture size, you definetly need some RAM before setting it to 64!

My rules of thumb:

1. Never set AGP aperture size below 16 mb, as it can cause system instability and crashing.

2. Never set the aperture size larger than your system memory, is it will not be allocated and used anyway.

Basically, you'll be safe setting it wherever you want. Your card has enough memory that it is unlikely that it will have to resort to using system memory for textures and stuff like that. When your card does have to use the system memory, it will "lag" considerably and in general not be something you will enjoy.

Remember that if your application does need to dip into system memory, it can take as much as you have allocated which will leave the remainder for other software processes.

PC-133 can be had cheaply. I strongly suggest that you upgrade to at least 256 MB system memory.

Actually the price of PC-133 has been steadily rising. PC-2100 is usually cheaper than PC-133 is right now. I would strongly suggest getting more though soon. From what I've heard they've cut the production of the older styles of RAM quite a bit and will be steadily raising the prices of it to make up for the lower quantities.

I was under the impression that aperture size should be set to graphics card ram size for a reason.

$30 at Newegg for Crucial.

I always set it 1/2 of my system ram size.

pc-133 expensive? BestBuy has sticks of 128MB PC133 for.......crap.....around $20. I think there was a rebate.
