The reason for writing this guide is that many people still ignore the importance of AAS or set it incorrectly. Generally measured in megabytes (MB), AAS is the amount of system memory (RAM) shared with an AGP graphics card in order for it to have more memory to process textures and other visual data.
Some people think that the more RAM you share with the graphics card, the larger the performance boost. In some cases, this might be true. In others, it might result in a performance drop. There are two common outcomes from setting the AAS too high: (1) If you share too much RAM with your graphics card and an application takes advantage of that, you will have less RAM for other functions of the software, and possibly for background applications. (2) If the graphics card does not utilize the memory, it is not taken from system memory. In this case, there are no problems with AAS sucking all of your system RAM, despite its setting in the BIOS configuration utility. The latter is the most common case, since most people have enough memory now to compensate for a high AAS, and most applications would not take all of the memory anyway.

Tweak3D - AGP Aperture Size

Eine gute Idee ist es, die hälfte des Arbeitspeichers für die Aperture Size zu nehmen, aber nicht über 128MB.

yup, das is genau einer von denen, die ich gelesen habe und aufgrund derer ich diesen beitrag gepostet hab.

AGP (Advanced Graphics Port) is Intel's newest expansion bus design. It enables video cards to access system memory to store texture maps and offers a higher-speed bus-- currently twice that of the PCI bus. The AGP aperture setting specifies to the AGP chipset how much of a PC's system memory, including virtual memory, is addressable by an AGP video card. While an AGP chipset can address up to 4GB of memory, the limit is usually placed at 256MB. You can extend the aperture beyond actual system RAM, and the AGP chipset will use the available memory. The aperture size settings will be different, depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Some will allow greater range of settings, while others (like yours) offer a limited selection.

...

Note the following, however. Owners of TNT2 boards have reported some problems with running their cards at different aperture settings. The fix in most cases is a reduction or increase in the AGP aperture size. Matrox has found some problems with Phoenix BIOS with its G400 at 64MB, and likewise with ATI, which has had problems with its cards at a 128MB.
