BIOS Setup AGP Aperture Size This setting controls just how much system RAM can be allocated to AGP for video purposes. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated to graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The option allows the selection of an aperture size of [4MB], [8MB], [16MB], [32MB], [64MB], [128MB], and [256MB]. AGP Fast Write This option enables or disables the AGP Fast Write feature. The Fast Write technology allows the CPU to write directly to the graphics card without passing anything through the system memory and improves the AGP 4X speed. 3-11

purposes. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated to
graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are for-
warded to the AGP without any translation. The option allows the selection of an
aperture size of [4MB], [8MB], [16MB], [32MB], [64MB], [128MB],
and [256MB].
AGP Fast Write
This option enables or disables the AGP Fast Write feature. The Fast Write technology
allows the CPU to write directly to the graphics card without passing anything through
the system memory and improves the AGP 4X speed.
