Ok, will look at bottleneck items closely.  Just reinstalled the whole 
system, fresh XP Pro, all drivers, software.   I may not have had the XP A64 
CPU driver installed when i ran that.   Just found it on AMD's site.   Also 
found that there are some settings in the nv control panel on the desktop 
that make a big difference in the game.  Got lots of stuff to play with now
