AGP Disabled

[Guest]

I was looking at EVEREST Program and it says:

"AGP is disabled. This may cause performance penalty"

"AGP aperture size is more than half of the system memory size. This may
cause performance penalty"

What can I do to fix this?

Reboot, press F2 or the DEL key when prompted to enter the BIOS and change the amout of memory used in the AGP Aperture. Conventional wisdom was to set this value to twice the actual Video memory. So, if you have an 8MB graphics adapter, you should set it no lower than 16MB.

If you have 256MB or system RAM or more, and you have less than 256MB of video memory, I recommend setting the AGP Aperture to 64MB. If you only have 128MB of system memory, then make that setting as small as possible, at twice the video RAM.

How much RAM do you have?
set your AGP aperture size to half your system RAM.

And what happens if F2 and DEL are both incorrect?

Use Start-Run 'dxdiag' OK to load the Direct X Diagnostics. Agree to allow Microsoft to check for WHQL digital signatures if prompted, and select the Display tab once all the information gathering has completed.

It may take several minutes. The display tab will have a value for Approx. Total Memory.

If you don't have dxdiag installed on your machine, just back the Aperture down to 64MB and see if that helps. How much System Memory do you have?

Then you RTFM.
