Right now I have a 512 MB video card, and I want to increase my AGP aperture to match. However, when I go into BIOS I'm limited to a maximum of 256 MB. How can I increase this? Would updating the bios fix this, or do I need to get a new motherboard?

First of all, AGP Aperture memory will not be used until your video card's on-board memory is running low.
That means it will usually not impact your gaming performance because developers are trying hard to not exceed the on-board memory limits of most cards ... your 512MB card will almost surely never rely on Aperture memory.
The bigger your video memory, the smaller your Aperture Size should be.... not the other way around.

buy a EVGA 256MB EVGA GeForce 7800GS TV-out/DVI-I/VGA AGP 8x 256-A8-N505-AX
you don't need more MB RAM on your pc, you just need a new one. The quantity of MB is not important, only the GPU - graphic processor unit matters to make games run better.
