I am completely stumped.
My friend bought a new 6600 gt AGP (thanks to my good advice).
He installed it and it worked fine. However, when it came to running nvidia demo's and doom 3, it would slow down to 2-3 fps. The problem is of course quite obivous, his AGP aperature is set too low. A quick google search confirned my suspicisions with many forums reporting that low AGP aperatures means low performences in Nvidia demo's and some newer games.
I tested his card in one of my systems (about the same spec, but his comp had 1gig less memory). The card performed well.
I eventually found out that his AGP aperature size was 32 mb, far too small. Unfortuately, the mobo seems to have no way of upping the AGP aperature.
Until now, I have never seen a mobo without an AGP aperature option. Does anyone know how to change the AGP aperature size on a Asus P4S533VL? (I've never even heard of such a mobo model and according to asus's website, neither has asus)
