All i know is that you should set it at or above the amount of memory on your video card, but what exactly does it do?
It don't have to be above. 64 to 128 is fine.you should set it at or above the amount of memory on your video card,

Not really. A 32mb card might work better at 128, but a 128mb card will work fine at 64 - 128. System memory really doesn't come into play these days with 128mb cards. And some computers in real word applications just don't lke a 256 setting (might have something to do with the large Graphics Address Relocation Table that is created).depends on many factors actually...

In the course of writing up this review, however, we found something a little strange. Almost hidden in the manual, and not mentioned anywhere else that we could find, was a command to enable the Advanced Features in the BIOS. After getting into the BIOS, the user must then hit CTRL-F1 to allow the modification of the DRAM timings and AGP settings. It was unclear to us why these options would need to be hidden from the user, or not have this command listed on the main menu itself. Needless to say, it was back to the testing grounds with the "improved" system. All of the scores in the following tests are shown with this new setup. Overclocking with the 8PE667 went very well. This board, like the others offers the ability to lock the AGP/PCI speed. It also gives users the ability to alter the VCore, AGP and DDR voltages. When all was said and done, we were able to hit a stable top FSB speed of 168MHz, which equates to 2856MHz

Yup, as I expected, it showed the menu to change the Aperture Rate
It also let me enable SMART on the HDDs, but thats another story
