The error message is somewhat of a red herring I think, as the driver
seems to report it even if it was successful. It seems the driver has
the entire system memory available to it for video ram (4GB), which
seems a bit odd. Have you checked the AGP aperture size in the BIOS?
It should probably not be higher than 512MB.

Wim
