MX cards are bandwidth limited. if you use one, you should use 16-bit instead of 32 bit to get acceptable frame rates.

I have GeForce2 32meg card and it is fine in AH at 1280x1024 32 bit with the original drivers (came with a Dell dimension 4100 over a year ago).

Get 3dMark 2001 from madonion.com and run it - it will show you where your bottleneck is - and it is probably your CPU, not the card.
