Video card problems

I dont know what the problem is with this thing. I have a gforce 6800 256 meg card. My CPU is a AMD 3200XP and I have a gig of RAM. The problem is it wont even run older games like it should. I go to my advanced settings for my video card and it tells me my OS is limiting my AGP to 2x when everything else (chipset, gpu) say it is able to run at 8x. Also it says that my max requested memory from OS is 32 megs. I have the latest drivers installed, I have also tried different drivers like omega, and detonator. I am at a complete loss. Any help would be appericated.

on some computers you can set the AGP speed in the BIOS/setup. If yours has options there, I would think AUTO would be best. Re the 32megs, is that the 'AGP Aperture'? that is usually also set in the BIOS/setup and does not relate directly to the amount of memory on the video card itself
