I just got my Radeon 9700 (non-pro) and expected to be able to fly in
Unreal Tournament 2003, but in DM-Antalus with 8 bots and the
following settings (1024x768 32bit and most of the bells and whistles
turned on to High), I am getting an average of 39 FPS.  Is this
normal?  I am using all the default settings that came with the driver
installation.

I have the driver date 12/18/2002 (not sure what driver version) from
the ATI website.

I have Athlon 1800+, 512MB, and Epox 8KHA+.  My CPU might not be top
of the line, but 39 FPS just plain sucks.  Any help would be
appreciated.  I have also found my Unreal Tournament (non-2003)
framerate to have not improved much either at 1024x768.
