Hi
In my BIOS (Asus A7V133 with Award BIOS V6), under Boot Settings, there is an option for 'primary VGA BIOS'. The options are PCI card or AGP card.
The default setting is PCI card, but as I have an AGP graphics card, surely this should be set to AGP card, or does it make any difference?
This may sound like a dumb question with an obvious answer, but I am trying to get the bottom of some problems I'm having with my setup and ruling this setting out (i.e. getting it right) means I can move on to other areas of investigation.
While I'm at it, does the 'AGP aperture' setting, elsewhere in the BIOS settings screen, make much difference to performance? Should it be set to the graphics card RAM size? I'm running a video capture/editing application with this PC (by the way, it IS the same PC as I've previously posted about, and I HAVE replaced both the cpu and motherboard! OK, still having problems, like when the system completely crashes during video playback. Hmm....).
Many thanks in anticipation of a helpful response.
