-S

You have a GeForce 2, you'll never get a "great" framerate on the game with that.

However, try switching "30 fps" to "no vsynch," and see if that helps.

Lol, I have the same graphics card, it is trully crap. Make sure you have the latest drivers from nVIDIA.
Make sure you close down any running programs, close all the toolbars on the taskbar, run scandisk, and defragment the hard drive.

GeForce 2 is crap...WHATEVER!!! That card kicked some azz in it's day...LOL.

For the first 3 months I played Halo PC, I used a 32 MB GeForce 2 MX 400. True I used CoolBits to overclock it a bit, but running at 640x480 using -useff and everything off except low particles and medium textures I was able to pull 40 FPS consistently. Of course it doesn't compare to my current FX 5700 Ultra which pulls 90 FPS at 1024x768. ;)
