Does this board support both types of RAM? You may have been better off installing a dedicated DDR mobo and reformatting / reinstalling XP. What about the AGP aperture? have you adjusted it. I would suggest setting it at its max (128mb?). I recently swapped motherboard, RAM and CPU from 1.4 tbird to 2600XP t'bred. Before reformatting it ran like a brick...now, with GF 4400Ti I get over 11000 on 3d Mark. Definately try a format and reinstall XP. Good luck.
