The situation
Athlon XP 3200
Asus nforce2 mobo
Radeon 9800 pro AGP DVI to Dell 2001FP
Radeon 7000 PCI DVI to Dell 1905FP
Windows XP SP2

The Problem
Moving windows onto the 1905FP send CPU usage to 100%. Scrolling is slow and ghosty. Flash animations plays choppy on the 1905FP as do old 2D games like Sam and Max. Moving the affected windows to the 2001FP fixes all lag and stuttering. I am using the latest Detonator drivers as of Feb 6th.

Is there some BIOS setting or windows setting to fix the craqppy performance on thePCI card? Or is the card so bad it just can't push 1280 x 1024 @ 32bpp over DVI? Any tips would be appreciated!
