Looking for a better driver for my Nvidia Geforce2mx400 video card.  I use to have the 23.11 version which, when directx8.1 came out, craped out.  I then installed the 7.58 version which got me playing agian but now my frame rates are back to averiging around 10.
thanks

While a P3 should do fine, what speed P3 is it?

Also, some folks with nVidia cards find better results by changing their AGP apeture size to 128 megs.  If it doesn't improve, just go back to 64.

Be sure to turn ground clutter off by hitting CNTRL-C while playing.  It will turn off a sparkly effect on the ground that I don't really miss, and seems to be quite a big frame rate hit.

Make sure your video card isn't sharing an IRQ with anything too!
