| where can i go to see what agp speeds (2x,4x,8x) my mobo can handle? and also where can i find how much video memory of the 128mb of the card is it actually using and also does raising the agp speed help performance in fps at all? it is currently on 0x. |

| I would suggest consulting the manufacturer's specs, in the motherboard's manual, or on the manufacturer's website to see what AGP speeds your motherboard is capable of. As for the rest, I have no idea. |

Your mb can handle whatever your video cards property tab reports it can handle. For instance...my mb can only handle 4X agp, even though my card is an 8X. 4X is as high as I can set it.
You can set it as high as your graphics property tab will let you. And if you're running at 0x now...you're not using the agp graphics bus at all. This will undoubtably effect your game performance in a "huge" way. Set this as high as allowable.
I'm not familiar with any utility that allows you to monitor your video cards performance...although, I'm sure they exist. |

if you run an ATI card, the software that comes with the catalyst drivers works very well!
... although I went from PCI to PCI-E and didn't even get to use AGP :S |

I don't know about now but the CCC was so bloated and took alot of RAM.
Where did you get the 0x from? You probably have onboard video or you don't have chipset drivers installed. |
