conficlts/shareing

Im an avid gamer, mostly Everquest or Everquest 2 by sony online entertainment.

Since im running a fairly new pc that i built, I want to tweek performance
to keep high detail, 1024, 1280 x 75mgz @32 bit color frame rates up as high
as i can go.

I noticed that while looking thru my system I have quite a few memory
addresses that are shared with my video card, and would like to move things
around so the bandwith is freed up for graphic rendering.

I looked in my bios to see if adjusting my irq's would do the trick but it
seems that the irq's are not the same thing as memory address shareing. My
sys infor is as follows below.

What i am looking for is a way to free up the memory addresses that share
with my geforce 6800 gt 256mb vid card, so i can get better frame rates
while playing everquest 2.
