I have a geforce 6600gt agp 128 mb ddr3 card and my agp aperature is stuck at 64 because i have a crappy hp bios. Do you think this will hinder the performance of my card at all? if so does anyone know of a bios i can flash my asus p4sd-la motherboard to that has these setings?

So your computer sees the card as having 64 megs of ram not 128 right?

Dispite what the poster said about Nvidia's suggested setting, do you guys know the correct answer to the question? PLEASE ignore the BS about the 3dmark03 scores. They have nothing to do with the question.
