Just bought another gig of ram for my desktop bringing the total to 2gb. My graphics card is a GeForce 6600 256mb AGP 8x.

My understanding is that the AAS (AGP Aperture Size) lets the graphics card use system RAM like it is VRAM. I can't see many of the games I play using much more than 1gb of RAM, but I would like to be able to use the higher texture quality settings in the games I play (Oblivion, Battlefield 2).

Anyone see a problem with setting the AAS to 512mb or even 1gb? The RAM isn't here yet or I would just try it, but I'm curious if anyone else has experience with this. smile.gif
