Your problem could be related to the video card. Try updating the drivers first. There are a lot of 128 cards out there that are "not what it says on the box" crap.

If your that serious about your gaming, I would consider boosting your ram to 1 gig and going for a 256 Nvidia video card.

Another thing that crossed my mind, if the motherboard drivers are not installed, you will have a "dog system with a curse." I hope thats not the case.

In any case make sure that you check the last suggestion first.

Hope this helps

I think he means that your system will be very very slow. Did you get a CD of drivers with your motherboard?
