OK, I just upgraded to a 1.33 GHz (266) Athlon T-Bird, FIC AD11 motherboard, and 256 megs PC2100 DDR SDRAM. Previously I was running a Celeron 600 @ 749/83 with 320 megs PC100 SDRAM on an ABIT BX6. I also have a Geforce2 MX, used it with the old motherboard and I am continuing to use it with the new one.

On my old setup, Unreal Tournament ran consistently at an average of 50 fps or higher. Now, on my 1.33 GHz DDR Athlon rig, it runs 15-20 fps on average. Quake 3 runs just fine, and is even slightly improved.

Is there an issue with the Unreal engine/Unreal Tournament specifically and the Athlon DDR setup?

The board I'm using is AMD 761 Northbridge, VIA 686B Southbridge, if this helps any.

Update your bios to the latest version. When I first got my Athlon it was the same way. Once I did the bios upgrade it worked great.
Hope it helps.

3 things.

One make sure u update the bios like mentioned before.
Two, make sure the AMD chipset (agp driver utility) is intalled.
Three, if its has a VIA chipset or is the AMD 760 (the hybrid),
make sure to install the via 4-in-1 drivers.

When u upgraded, did u reinstall your OS? If not, do so... i assume u did, so i'll second the idea of the VIA 4in1's
