I was able to run BF2 over 80FPS at 1280x1024 - The native res of my LCD. And
your telling me that I should expect 20-40 FPS at 800x600 with everything
turned off.

I see threads where people are running WOW on ATI 9700s. Why would MS sell
an upgrade version if noone can upgrade. The minimum specs are 1.0 ghz and
512 ram I believe I amd running over 2.0Ghz AMD 3000XP and 2 gig of ram.

My expectations were a working product. It runs fine on my even older
toshiba laptop with 512 ram and a geforce go video card with only 32 meg of
memory.

There is obviously a driver issue somewhere. I was hoping for answers. Back
to XP.
