Why does it have a limit of 64MB AGP apreture size??

dude my old motherboard was an Intel BX440i and it supported an apreture size of upto 256MB. I have 512MB SDRAM and a GeForce 4 Ti-4600 128MB DDR

It's a limitation of the i815 chipset. At the time the i815 was competing against the newer i820/i840 RDR chipsets. Intel couldn't possibly make the i815 look better than their RDR mobo's having sold out to Rambus.
Of course, everyone stayed with BX up until recently with the tualatins

You think that 64MB and 256MB apreture size makes a difference?
