Rip, something is odd about your drivers. I get much better frame rates than that around the carriers with: Cel 366, 128 mb ram, ATI xpert 128 (16 mb).
I'm curious to see how my other system will do when I get to use it again: Athlon Tbird 700@900, 128 mb cas2 pc 133 ram, 32 mb V770 Ultra. If it's lower than this Celery system I'm using now then maybe something us wrong.
Did patch 3 help?
