I am getting lines and and all sorts of strange visuals while playing games

I am getting lines and and all sorts of strange visuals while playing 'call of duty', 'FEAR', and 'Dead mans hand'.  I played 'Doom' without any problems.  I think my system should be able to play these games fine.  Is this a common problem? Any Solutions?

Processor AMD Athlon 2.2 GHz
512 ram
video card- bfg gforce invidia 6800 128mb ddr agp
Windows XP Pro

You should really consider buying some more RAM.  Having at least 1 gig might help.  
Try updating Direct X

nVidia video drivers can vary in terms of artifacts that they introduce - try a different driver.

I'v tried both updating direct x and multiple drivers? still very bad pictures lines everywhere.
Any other ideas? Does this card work for anyone else out there?

You could try turning some of the eye candy down in the games.  See if that helps.  Maybe your overloading your vid. card.
