Windows and Games run like crap

After getting a new motherboard and a reformat of my hard drive, I installed Windows 98. All is well until it gets to the detecting plug and play hardware and the mouse pointer begins to lag when moved. This lag ( or stuttering ) is very evident when installing programs in Windows. During a large install it will completely stop for a few seconds then start again, making it take quite a long time. My framerate drops very low ( under 20 fps, rarely under 10) in certain games like quake 3. This framerate drop isnt constant but happens enough to be very annoying in counterstrike or urbanterror. All DMA boxes are checked. Same results with Bios defaults or user defined. Heres a list of the specs of the system.

Amd xp 1900+
28 gig HD
ECS k7ama MB
512 mb Micron 133 sdram
Antec 400 watt psu
Pny Geforce 3 ti 500
Soundblaster Live Value

This is the hardware that is present during the install.

 
Woo it worked!!Thanks a bunch Dai. One last problem..... I can see the mouse pointer moving around in 3d games. Not really a problem, just annoying. Any ideas on that one?
Thanks in advance 🙂
