A thing or two worth knowing about the AGP: The "32 MB" setting is more than adequate, since virtually all programs manage the AGP size themselves. Under Windows 98 SE and Windows 2000, the graphics card driver regulates the AGP size anyway in conjunction with the operating system. Basically speaking, no performance enhancement is noticeable.
