I didnt know, that CAS 4 is even supported by some mainbaords. I thought, they only support CAS 2, 2.5 and 3. Are you sure, you dont mean tRCD or tRP?

I wouldnt set the AGP-ApertureSize as high as the RAM you have, because this can cause a problem when you play a gamke, that needs a lot of memory and has big textures: when you have 512MB ApertureSize, the OS must make up to 512MB available for your GPU, only if it needs so much. Aperture memory that isnt used by the AGP is available for the OS and apps, but if you will ever play a game, which uses 640MB for frame buffer (128MB VRAM + 512MB aperture), there will be no RAM available for Windows anymore and your PC will crash. It will probably even crash, when a little less than 512MB of the aperture-RAM will be used.
Btw, you shouldnt use any other languages than English in your posts.
Well im not going to buy a new video card till mabey late march because i heard that ATI is going to unleash some new products, but im not sure. Anyway the 9800XT is a beauty i would love to have one rigt now but im going to wait a bit.
Somone just told me to turn off my anti aliasing, i think that was the problem. I set mine to max, anywayz, what is anti aliasing for? and is it good for games?
I agree about waiting, hear there are going to be some really good cards coming out, and then there is PCI express coming too. Watch that 9800 XT drop to under 300$ overnight like the 9800 Pro did. I have a 9800 Pro (well, waiting for it to be returned on warranty, another story) on a 3200 xp system. Get from 16500 stock to 19000 with a little oc'ing. I would think that even with that card you should be getting scores in the low teens. Try tunning Aquanox or 3dmark 03 and see what your cpu and vid card scores are.
AA is suppose to enhance the quality of the display. But it does have an impact on performance. I usually leave it turned off. To change the settings on my card I go into control panel>display>settings>advance and then adjust to fit. If you haven't made any adjustments, should be set at optimal or balanced.
Try setting for performance and see what you get. You can also use a oc' program on the card. I like Rivatuner. Only thing is I don't know how much if at all that card will oc. And oc'ing it can be dangerous (my other story above) for what extra performance you can get.
If you had AA on, your score is normal. You should get a 5 digit score w/o AA. Make sure, that Anisotropic Filtering is also turned off and that the driver is set to max. performance.
