massive slow down

HELP! I just upgraded to a Athalon XP 2100 processor with 1 GB of DDR RAM - simply 300% faster than my previous computer running at 450Mhz

I have been creating a game for a while and the test world is pretty barebones.

Before I was achieving 90 FPS and things were awesome
Now I am achieving 3 FPS on the exact same program

I have been in the past and am still currently running XP Pro Everything else about the computer system is the same - I just changed the motherboard, CPU and memory. Every piece of software other than Blitz 3D is running full steam ahead and shows the massive power this new system has.

I have made no changes at all and simply wanted to show it to a client - imagine my surprise at this insane slow down!!!!!!!

What do I do to fix this??????

Any help or similar experiences would be helpful

isnt that the gfx card thing?

The graphics card is a GeForce 3 Ti whatever - Titanium series - has not changed and has 128MB DDR memory - more than enough

Yeah, but the Nvidia drivers act like Lee Bamber wrote them. You need to downgrade your drivers.

I suggest the drivers that actually shipped with XP. Anytime I have tried to use different ones, the performance has gone down hill.

Erm, I'd more overly suggest one of the two driver versions :

-30.82 (most stable drivers)
-41.09 (has issues on some very specific cards, but are faster drivers than 30.82)

Same thing happend to me so I reverted to the drivers to 40.17
