I know this thread is going off-topic, but when you say AGP adds another
256MB, is that literally true?  I've only got the 2.2.x kernel so I can't
take advantage of the AGP in my system, but does this mean that once I
upgrade my kernel, X is going to be using 256MB more of RAM?

Sorry, I know I should probably be asking these questions in a Linux newbie
list.
