Dimension 2350 AGP Aperture?

I own a Dimension 2350 and I have flashed my Bios to the A02, but I still cannot find a setting to change the AGP aperture. I am told that I need to change my AGP Aperture to fix my graphics card problems. Can someone tell me how to change my AGP aperture?

    You probably do not have a video card vhdblood, but instead a video chip on the motherboard, which is very low end, and not worth a darn for games.  What is the problem you are having  ?   What you need is a dedicated pci slot video card. 
     
    To change the video aperture, you have to go into the Bios, by clicking repeatly on the Delete key when booting up, than go to Advanced, than down to Video Configuration to change the settings.

    Sorry, I guess I should explain. I'm not an idiot. I know plenty when it comes to computers and have built quite a few myself, although none of them for me, :{. Anyway, I do have a PCI video card, a Geforce 6200. I know my way around a bios, but I can't seem to find a way to change my AGP aperture. Btw, on my computer, it isn't delete, it's F2.

    Seen absolutly no difference when changing mine from 64 mb or 128 mb in the bios.  More main memory would be a better option

    I am not trying to be rude but if you have a PCI video card then changing the AGP aperture is not going to do anything. Thats why its called "AGP Aperature" if you are using a PCI card for video thats why it wont let you change it. By putting the PCI video in it bypasses the onboard AGP video. And if it makes you feel any better I have never seen it do anything when its changed. I think Windows XP ignores most bios settings.
