Well, aaah, I've got a very ugly hardware problem and no one has been able to solve it so far. I've got AMD K6-2 333, 64MB memory and Matrox G400Dualhead with 32MB RAM for videocard. Well, the problem is that any game that has more complicated graphics than Quake2 or Turok2 runs really slow-10 or 20fps. NeedForSpeed3 and 4 are unplayable. Re-Volt is so-so. I tried reinstalling the drivers for my Matrox, I tried removing the damn monster and installing it again -no good. In some games the following phenomenon appears - in the beginning the game plays works fine, and then everything slows down to the above mentioned framerate. It just behaves like my old VirgeDX. Can anyone help me?

"in the beginning the game plays works fine"

what do you mean by that exactly? You mean you are getting, what? 30-40 fps? then it slows down to 10-20?

If that is the case, then it sounds like the VC is overheating. I would suggest a PCI or ISA fan card (like 10-20 bucks) and see if that works...if you don't want to wait, I usually put a box fan on the open case just to see if overheation is the problem...
