Fist I would reccommend that you stick with DX8.1.Before I installed it, much choppy. After much better. Second, use OpenGL, that also seems to give better performance. Third, the following are the OpenGL settings that Zhukie talked me thru. These made a BIG difference. Make sure you are using 23.11 drivers. Do the desktop properties thing, advanced settings......... Turned on: Enable buffer region extension
Allow the duel planes exstention to use local video memory
Use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering Default color depth for textures : Always use 16bbb
Buffer flipping mode: Use Page Flip
Virtical Sync: Always off
Arisotropic Flitering: Disabled Use 30 Mb of system memory for textures in PCI Mode. (Zhukie had recommended 62Mb, but I have only 256Mb RAm so the system reset this to 30. I'll reset it when I upgrade the RAM shortly.) Turned off Antialasing Now I still have some freeze on high graphics moments, but MUCH less than before. I think some of it is due to sound issues now. That's where I'll be tweeking today. Good Luck

Jen has some other ideas..something to do with a trifectia and R2D2, I think...I'll print the damm thing out, and give it a whirl..........  It's over there at the thread, "This...." Stag, Donster, Bilko and I spent some time on RW, so Bilko's going to see if what all we came up with helps his problems.  -------------------- Check six & aim for the cockpit.

Ok, keep trying the 8.1.......that was one of the things that made a HUGE difference.-------------------- Check six & aim for the cockpit. "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

I just figured it was my system being a little dated. (MoBo) BTW I tried DX8.1 again and 3DMark 2001 wouldn't even run this time.
