Why is it off? Have you installed the Motherboard drivers? New Video Drivers? ???

The real question is, why didn't this stuff come setup properly with a pre-built system?

Because its Dell, which is a bunch of the biggest retarded ass monkeys the industries has ever seen.

Who else couples a P4 2.4Ghz system with a 250W PSU (not the system in this thread btw)

Anyhoo select that option in the bios where you see it and lower it to the desired number

Quite honestly, the AGP Aperture size setting isn't an exact science. I'd suggest experimenting with various sizes to see which one performs best on your system.
