I have 3 computers. My oldest one, a P2 300 mmx, 384mb pc100, with Windows 98 SE, and a geforce2 GTS 32mb is running like sh!t now. I have installed all the current drivers I could find, including the Detonator 3. Before I formatted it, I could pull 40fps out of quake 3 in 800x600, now I get 5fps (yes... five), and CS runs at 10fps but before it would run at around 45-50. Even when I am in the desktop moving around my mouse, it is very choppy and unresponsive. Did I do the format wrong? Did I do the install wrong?

sounds like somethings eating up your CPU cycles...make sure all programs are closed and try again...

Install motherboard drivers.
Might we perhaps be using a VIA chipset with no drivers installed? tsktsk
