AGP Aperture problems.
Hello... again =)
I am having a problem with setting my AGP aperture in bios. It's currently set at 32 MB (too low!) but whenever I change it to anything else (like 64 or 128) my system becomes EXTREMELY unstable, I get hundreds of errors when windows boots up (a bunch of file not found errors with really weird file names) My system will go back to normal if I reset it back to 32. What am I doing wrong?
My system is:
P4 2.8 GHz
ASUS P4P800 mobo
512 MB RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9800 pro (256 mb)
Thanks!

Thanks buck, I can't try that yet cuz i'm not home, but I will let you know how that works. For some extra points... what exactly does setting the AGP Aperture do? I just read somewhere that you should set it to 1/2 your system RAM... will it give a performance boost or anything like that? Just a curious newb here =)
