    have you checked around to see if it has an issue with XP?

    GTA III, XP and a GF2 ran like crap without the patch.

    Should work fine with that card.


    have you enabled agp 4x in bios and used the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com

    I have a less spec card than that and XP and mafia runs fine in 1024.
