Geathaa: Try re-running the Video/Sound test from the start menu. Maybe change it to Direct X, and then back.

And for everyone else, just remember, a K6-2 with 256MB is just as good as any P3 with 128MB Ram, it's all in the video card. My worst lag was on Win ME and this is my Athlon 800. It had 128MB, 32MB nVidia card and it had a lot of lag problems.

Now I'm upgraded to Win2k, 224MB Ram (still waiting for a good deal on ebay for more ram). Switched to Direct X7 from OpenGL and it runs so much better... but I noticed that the fonts in the dialogue box changed... hmmmm.
