Yeah, I have the exact problem after upgrading from w2k to wxp, downgrade to w2k if you can, it's faster. Otherwise, try upgrading to directx9b, downgrading ur nvidia drivers if u already updated them to the newest version, and turn off ur flashy gui for wxp and that should give u some extra fps. Is that PCI Express? if so, wow, I want one!!
