> 1. When I play some games such as counterstrike my fps(frames per second)
are only about 50. I was getting the same with my old GeForce II card. I
know other people that have the same card and lower (Radeon 7200) that get
the max of 99fps constant on a resolution of 800x600 (the same I use). What
I would like to know is if this is right or if I should be getting a better
rate. To me it would seem that I should.

Have you gone into your bios and made sure that "System Performance Setting"
is set to "Optimal". If not, you may want to do so. Also, your "AGP drive
strength"; 2X, 4X? Is the "AGP fast write" disabled or enabled? What about
your "Graphics aperture Size"? Typically it should be set to half of your
onboard ram, however depending on your bios version and OS, 256 may get
funky. I'm not sure on this one, but will this vid-card will support USWC in
the "Video Memory Cache Mode" as well? If so, set it to USWC.
