I have a p3-1gig, 1gig ram, Geforce3 Ti200, Win2K PRO...ran 3dMark and I got a 4198. Then I ran medal of honor with the FPS info and it was around 30 frames, but it would drop down to 15 when the actiong got heavy.....

I was testing my PC since I wanted to get Earth and Beyond....

At least I can still play GTA3

Liviathan, turn off the smoke in mohaa. Even the fastest P4's and AMd's with GF4's slow down on the beach landing, and the forrest winter level. I've read other threads with peeps running Gf4's and P4 2ghz that still slow down like you are talking about.
Turn off the smoke details, and you won't notice the diff, and you'll get alot better fps....

What resolution are you trying to run it at? That machine should be able to handle MOH no problem.

Dude that computer is fine. If you are heavy into gaming, then yes it is slow. However, my brother still uses a 500MHz Athlon and tries to play games on a Vodoo card. I would say it needs some upgrading, but hardly a POS he has :).

There is something else wrong with your computer or your card, you should be getting close to 120FPS with that configuration, it is far from a POS.

First thing you can do is answer some questions like what resolution your running at and what details your using etc.
