Well maybe because the bios is a non windows program, and doing it from within windows can cause a corruption therefor ruining your motherboard like this user may have.
If you are looking for a new AGP card, then look at radeons they are probaly the best AGP cards you can get. I would say get a radeon
If you are looking for a new card, I would say go for any of these-

Find the 3-pin jumper near the battery "clear cmos" or "reset bios"
Remove the jumper from the default position
Replace the jumper to connect the 2nd and 3rd pins.
Push the power button on the front of your comp once.
Wait about 2 mins.
Return the jumper to its default position...
1. Turn on your computer and press the key on your keyboard to enter the BIOS
2. Go to the last tab or page of your BIOS.
3. Select and do restore factory settings
4. Save your changes

I do not own it. Thank you very much, I will give you more than $20 seeing how the card is worth more and the game is $50 alone. Thanks again.

If its slow to turn on, do this
Start - Run - Msconfig - Start up
Then uncheck all the un needed ones, like Itunes, AIM, Skype etc.
Any program you won't need until you open it.
Then go to services, Hide all MS services and do the same thing.
Do this
1. Take out the cmos battery
2. Unplug your computer
3. Hold in the power button while its unplugged for 30 seconds
Doing that resets the bios there is a another more complicated way I will tell you if that doesnt work.
