Hello Group, I was having another poke around and in a program called AIDA32 v3.02, found a reference to DMI. It has a warning listed saying that DMI may be inaccurate or corrupted. Whats a DMI?? This program gives very detailed information for just about anything. It has a section that checks the motherboard -chipset . This has a notation under "Problems and Suggestions". The Problem = "AGP aperture size is more than half of the system memory size. This may cause performance penalty". Simply put I guess that something is oversize and slows the computer down. BIOS is over 2 years old and can stay that way. Just for my own curiosity I would like to know what these things are , what they do and should I do anything about them.?
