It is recommended that you keep the AGP aperture around 64MB to 128MB in size, even if your graphics card has a lot of onboard memory. This allows flexibility in the event that you actually need extra memory for texture storage. It will also keep the GART (Graphics Address Relocation Table) within a reasonable size.

I don't mean to sound like an assclown but this issue has seen 1,000,000+ threads and the search function has been back up on the [H] for some time now.
 
At first, I'd like to appologize to everyone for my poor english language. I'm from Serbia & Montenegro, so I'll try to be as good as I can.

About the topic:
Well, I'm not very sure, about that you heard. It's not that simple - depends of your MB, CPU etc. My comp, for example, shows no extra performance, whatever I set for Aperture size. I'ts almost equal when I set it to 32 or 128.

Also, when you have graphic card and RAM as you have, aperture size isn't really usable at all.
