they go slow because onboard graphics are slow compared to any vid card costing $40 or more
I'm assuming you have all 64mb enabled

In your BIOS somewhere, will be an "AGP Aperture" setting, increase it from 64 to 128.

AGP Aperture doesn't increase performance or anything at all, but since you have an onboard vga you may want to try changing the Aperture Settings. Leaving it at defualt(64mb or 128mb) is recommended.

While the Intel Extreme Grahpics is an improvement over Intels previous onboard graphics, it still pales when compared to even low/medium end graphic cards, which are purpose built for gaming. It is missing some important features (eg T&L) and you will probably find most decent games do not directly support it.
As other have pointed out, you are far better off going out and buying yourself a card - look for GeForce. This is followed by a number, the bigger the better (and more expensive). You can buy these with different amounts of RAM, once again, the bigger the number, the better.
I think you will find something quite cheaper and if you haven't tried a GeForce card before, you'll be suprised how good they are.
Summary: I think it's 64MB. I would by a new video card, Intel Extreme Graphics suck. You can get GeForce FX 5800 with 128MB ddr for under $160. Or a GeForce FX 5200 with 128MB ddr for under $80. ...
Summary: Asus has a couple of nice 865 chipset boards that support all of those features and sell for about $125 retail maybe less online. Don't have the model numbers but any one could go to Asus's web page ...
