My BIOS defaults to setting the AGP aperture size to 64mb. (Intel 865PE
chipset).

My graphics card has 128mb of memory.

What should the aperture be set to, or does it matter?

It makes no detectable difference AFAICT, so leave it alone.

If it works, leave it alone. As far as I'm aware there has never been any
software released commercially which actually uses the graphics aperture.
