An AGP video card's memory aperture size can be easily adjusted in the Basic Input Output System, or BIOS for a computer, as long as the function is allowed by the motherboard. The process is similar for all AGP Video Cards, but this guide details the process for the GeForce Go 6150 using the nForce 4 chipset. Increasing the memory aperture size does not always improve graphic performance, and too much memory can actually be detrimental to performance. "128MB" is the recommended setting for most video cards.
