Omegadrivers are always good or just the standard ATI ones.

Also, that Celeron 2.4GHz doesn't help. 40FPS sounds abt right from an X700 though (my experience).

Robert, you need to do a little more research. What do you mean you didn't think Celeron has AGP? Loads and loads of Celeron boards come with AGP slots.

To the original poster: I continue to discourage users from selecting mobos that have a VIA chipset. This is especially true for ATi cards for some reason.

You should check to see if there's an update for the VIA chipset drivers for the board, and see if there's a BIOS update for it, too.

You might also want to try the NGO Optimized drivers for ATI cards. I'm getting excellent performance from them on my X800 XL.
