my system:

mobile barton 2400+ @ 2.1ghz
nf7-s v.2 mobo
1 gig corsair xms 2-3-2-6 Ram
160gb seagate hd
350w antec smart power ps (came w/ the case)
nvidia BFG 6800 OC 128mb

my computer reboots when running 3dmark03 sometimes and doesn't seem to run half-life2 quite as well as my 9800 pro did. i upgraded b/c i heard that this card outperforms, but i'm pretty disappointed so far. i have the latest nvidia drivers and just did a clean reformat. i set fast writes off, agp speed to 8x, and agp apature to 128mb. am i allowed to bump the agp apature to 512mb? would this damage my video card at all? i'm running motherboard monitor and temperature doesn't seem to be a problem (41 C @ idle), but then again i'm still a newbie w/ OC's. is there anything else i should try? what in my system is my bottleneck?
