GeForce 3 ti200 card giving TERRIBLE performance

[trixrforkids]

Problem: GeForce 3 ti200 card is performing, well, like crap.

here are the steps ive taken already to try and fix the problem:

Gotten a new mother board (the other one had a bad bios cip)

Reformated, reinstalled everything

Installed the latest motherboard drivers

Installed the latest video drivers

Tried the drivers that came on the CD

Ive disabled anti aliasing

The card this STILL WILL NOT work well. It wont change the screen resolution and it generaly runs like junk. Frame rate drop, mouse lag, etc. Think Anarchy Online on release day

Anyone have any last ditch advcie for me before i just take this POS back and downgrad (or should i say upgrade? ) back to a GeForce 2?

sytem specs:
cpu: amd athlon 1.33ghz
mobo: msi k7t turbo 2 via 133a chipset
ram: 256 pc133
video: MSI G3 ti200-pro td
OS: win 98se

Make sure your AGP Aperture is set above 64, ideally it should be half of your system ram. Run dxdiag, and goto the Display Tab. If the AGP Texture Acceleration is disabled, then enable it. If you can't then it is a sign that your AGP Aperture isn't high enough.

Edit: Check this post about AGP Aperture

Uhh, it could of course be just a defective card.
I would replace it...

Exactly. Going back to a GF2 just cause of bad luck with one GF3 is stupid. Just exchange it for a different GF3.
