One thing to be aware of is that our agpgart implementation leaks the
memory it uses for AGP yet, so every time the DRM initializes AGP, you
lose 8 MB of RAM (you can decrease that to 4 with Option "AGPSize"
though) until the next reboot. You may want to run without agpgart for
now if that's a problem. It seems you should have enough RAM though...
