I assume you mean graphics aperture size. This is the amount of physical memory (system RAM - NOT graphics RAM) that your card will use. This setting determines the size of your GART table. Whatever you set it to it won't improve performance much, don't worry about it. I did have to learn all this stuff but can't really remember it very well. Don't worry it's not very important, these days we have enough video memory to load lots of stuff into, you'll be fine.

Since you've got loads of graphics memory set the aperture size to be low. Maybe 64MB. That way your GART table is smaller which is a good thing.

I heard somewhere that BF doesn't even use more than 256MB on any video card.  I also heard at the same time that you can somehow make it so it does use more than 256MB, I wish I could find that link.
