Well, I doubt it's your hardware, since I'm running a Duron 700 with 128megs of RAM. The graphics card doesn't matter....
unless you have the 3D Graphics acceleration turned on. Your GeForce might be trying to render the effects in 3D, and since Baldur's Gate doesn't
have any 3D graphics, your GeForce gets in a snit and decides to go in the corner and sulk.
The only time I suffer real slowdown with my system is when it's trying to think about
massive amounts of stuff, like everybody in the Ritual map running at me at the same time.
You might also have lots of programs running in the background on your computer, which eats up available RAM for running games. Since you only report the slowdown on Baldur's Gate, this is unlikely, but it's still possible.
