Poor GeForce performance

Meatball
Hi, I have a 32Mb ASUS GeForce, ASUS P5AB super 7 board, 64Mb SDRAM with a Cyrix MII P300 CPU. I run Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 98, but I prefer 2000. I find games like NFS5 Porche run very slow even at 640x480.

mike3411
I just got a Diamond MX400, which drivers should I use? The S3/Diamond site only has Win 9x and Win NT drivers for download, but they say that the MX400 has WIn2k drivers.

Pauses

DuSTman
I am having some wierd pauses in various games (starlancer, Tachyon: the fringe, thief 2 demo). The game will (at random points) just stop for several seconds. The last frame that was on screen remains there, and the last sound heard repeats several times.
