Default Total AGP memory?

In 3DMark01, it says that I have Total Local Memory 64Mb on my graphics card but then it says that I have Total AGP Memory 120Mb. What's causing this?

It's your 'AGP aperture size'. This can be altered in your BIOS.

It decides how much of your system RAM your videocard is allowed to use if and when it runs out of it's own 64MB onboard memory.

Ok, and does my card have some sort of vertex shader? Cause I can run the vertex shader test but not the pixel shader test.

Well on a site they had a review on GFX cards and mine was there and according to that my card has Vertex Shader 1.1. Oh and is this a good OC:
Default Core speed: 250MHz
Current speed: 365MHz
Default Memory speed: 400MHz
Current speed: 415MHz

That's what I got so far and there are no artifacts yet, and the card is pretty cool, though I do have a 120mm fan with a "windtunnel" blowing cold air directly at the card.
