You can't use main memory as video memory with AGP. You can use main
memory for textures. The problem with nVidia's cards are that they don't
release specs, and have not yet implemented AGP support themselves, so
there is no support for AGP features in any of the nvidia glx drivers
(as there is for i810, G200/G400).
