- Some other questions concerning the Graphics Ultra +
-
- o What is the speed difference between the Plus with and without
- Memory Aperture being enabled? Currently I have a plus running
- with Mem. Ap. disabled using the Build 53 drivers, and Wintach
- tells me the card is about 2/3 as fast as the ATI 8514 Ultra I
- had up to now. That's not what I expected. Especially pull down
- menues seem to take ages to appear.
-
- o Can the Mem. Aperture be enabled on systems with 16MB memory?
- An ATI technician told me this; it could be set even beyond 32MB.
- The Install program coming with the card only allows the range 0-15MB,
- which is occupied by system memory.
