"Option NvAGP true
BTW ...what exactly does this do?"

I believe NvAGP is meant to take a number:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-d.html
and is meant to tell the nvidia driver to use its own agpgart rather than the in kernel one if possible. The best solution would be if NVIDIA could submit fixes to the in kernel agpgart drivers. The nvidia agpgart supports less chipsets than the in kernel one and may have different stability/performance characteristics to the in kernel agpgart.
