What a coincidence, I was just trying to do that. But I couldn't find a way 
to just type in the value, and all the preset selections were incorrect. 
Hmmm! I just bought a used server that has red hat 6.2 on it and an intel 
815 chipset with an onboard graphics chip I can't figure out that uses 
regular system memory instead of vram. I can't find the relevant info at 
intel. I even get prompted for the clockchip or something like that, I wish 
I knew. Intel site has a guide for hacking in the AGPGART module, I'm 
really looking forward to trying that (not!).

I'd be real tempted to just try to slap 7.3 on it, but it doesn't have a cd 
drive installed. I have a weird usb cd drive sitting around, how does one 
go about finding the linux driver for such a beast (assuming it exists...)?

I tried the manufacturer's web page and google, couldn't find anything.
