HELP!
I've recently found difficulty in playing games with 3d acceleration.
3D is running at a horrifying 10 FPS and lowest and if I'm lucky 30 at most.
I'd be happy with a steady 30 FPS but it often drops to around 8 - 10.
Here are my system specs:
AMD Athlon 2400+
Radeon 9600 XT
1024mb Crucial RAM
Windows XP with Service Pack 2

I've tried the following routes to solving the problem myself:
-Using the original graphics drivers which came on the CD
-Using 3rd party drivers
-Downloading MSI's latest AGP drivers for my motherboard
-Changing AGP Speeds
-Using a different motherboard
I have come to see that AGP Write refuses to enable, even though it is enabled in my BIOS.
Also, running AGP at 8x creates extremely frequent VPU crashes (these are set to recover but take up a few seconds in doing so)
Please help, I have no disposable income and am nearly convinced that this is a software issue.
Thanks, nwAddict
