How about a new Video Card?  http://www.newegg.com  You could upgrade to a GeForce 3 for 50 bucks.

If not, go to http://www.guru3d.com and download some new drivers.  Find the most downloaded drivers in the 30.XX series.  Also download RivaTuner.  Some reading required. but this should help those framerates.

Most likely your video drivers...

Double check that antialiasing is off....

your loss is nearly half of what you had..  sounds like antialiasing for shure..

reduce resolution to 640x480 and work your way up...  Make shure your color is at 16bit not 24 and 32 bit. (fill rate)

AK Desert aka the pizza map the textures     require more resources...

2 cents

A gf3 ti500 outperforms any of the gf4 MX cards.

Get a GF3 or something... tnt2's ceased to be useful like 3 years ago.

Don't be a banana and buy a vidcard to that computer. TNT should not exist in any gaming machine today. You'll be surprised how fast your games go on that very same machine.
