Okay, so those numbers were on a dual Athlon MP 2000 system with 1.5GB 
of RAM and a GeForce 4 Ti 4400. But I've seen numbers in 3000 range on 
an Athlon XP 1700 w/a GF4MX and 512MB of RAM (DDR), if I recall 
correctly. I could be mistaken, but James was pulling 1800 on a 2-year 
old laptop w/a GF4MX...

AGP slot speed? Perhaps that is a bit of a bottleneck...

Okay, now I read your next message. 2000FPS w/the 4363 drivers. That's 
more like it. Sadly, nVidia seems to keep going downhill, post-4363... 
I've got some work to do testing the 5328 drivers this week myself, but 
the initial results make me think I'll stick to 4363.
