Your older computer was a lot faster than your new computer.  The video card in your old computer was at least a good 2x faster than the 9200 in your new system.  (The rest of the old system was also faster as well.  A 1.4 Tbird Athlon with DDR memory is going to be a bit faster than a Willamette 2 GHz P4 with PC133 Sdram.)  

The low frame rates on your old system with AH2 was/is happening with all Radeon 9500 and up users in AH 2 beta.  There's some bug causing the low framerates.

Dude,

Grab the 9700 from the old puter and swap with your 9200 - best decision you'll ever make....same drivers to boot...make sure you uninstall the old ones and reinstall when you replace the card...you'll not regret it


P.S. are you sure your ram is PC133 SDRAM? - thats slow ram
