Games running way too fast

Okay, these are my graphics card and processor respectively.

ATI Radeon 3850
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+

I have the most recent updates for the graphics card and Windows XP. While playing Star Wars KOTOR 1 & 2, a few games around the same age, or even newer games like Assassins Creed the game plays as if its in fast forward, though the original Doom runs perfectly fine. The character models look like they are having seizures, the sound is either low quality or cannot be heard over the static. I have tried cpukiller which helps somewhat during game play but and cinematics still play at their enhanced speed. I have maxed out everything I can on my graphics card which has shown no noticeable improvement. I believe that it is a framerate issue but I can not find a way to lower the framerate using ATI Control Center or Windows Preferences because they only offer 60.
 
Try setting the game to only use one core.
To do this, ctrl alt del > processed > (Whatever the game exe is) right click, affinity, and uncheck one of the cores.
