N4 with Matrox G400

Anybody getting good frame rates with this? My system is:

G400 DualHead 32meg AGP
PII 400
128meg PC100 RAM
running in D3D 'cause Matrox is behind the OpenGL curve as usual.
(I've got Dx8 and I'm sticking with the 5.2 drivers for stability)

With all the eye-candy off, I can get about 20 fps in the corners at
Talledega, down to about 10 fps on the straights. (fps increases the further
down a straight I get)

I'm _really_ not up to a new cpu and motherboard right now.

Thanks!
Robert

It's your lack of cpu horsepower causing the poor framerate.  (even though
that is not what you wanted to hear!)  Try a lower resolution. (800x600 or
640x480)
