I have an 8meg rage pro turbo agp. I was wondering how you can give your card more megs through your bios?

You can't, it's in the hardware.

No, you can only do that with integrated VGA units that eat away from the system's main RAM. With those, the amount stolen for VGA purposes can be configured in BIOS.

VGA cards have their own physical RAM mounted on the card. Older cards sometimes have this expandable ... but don't bother for yours, the ATI Rage Pro chip can't handle more than 8 megs anyway.
