1. No. The AGP Aperture Size option is disabled in GA-6BX7+ BIOS and set permanently to 64MB. You can use modbin tool to modify BIOS image (unhide this hidden option) and then flash it.
2. That's for special Matrox G400-based cards sold by GigaByte which had no BIOS
3. There is a program that can do it in Windows, but I don't remember its name. All I remember is that it was russian-made.

Get the latest BIOS, open it in modbin, go to "Chipset Setup Default", use Page Down to go to "CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP", then scroll down using arrow keys. You will find "AGP Aperture Size (MB)" with DISABLED in Item-status column. Go to the DISABLED text using arrow keys and use + key to set it to NORMAL. Then ENTER and Update file from main menu. Then flash it. Of course at your own risk.

When using Modbin to enable hidden settings, you have to pay attention to the position indicators so as not to overwrite an existing option.

Not enough room? Time to sacrifice something.
Flash your BIOS at your own risk.
