help re- usb vs joyport ff wheels

Help!

ive just received a replacement microsoft force feedback wheel which is usb,
my old one ran through a soundblaster live joyport. in games such as grand
prix legends my frame rate is much lower than with the previous wheel.

Question: any suggestion on how to improve this? can you get drivers to
increase usb performance?

my current system:
500 athlon,
Voodoo Banshee,
Soundblaster live,
96 meg memory,
microstar mother board

I have heard this has been a problem with the MS USB FF wheel.  I've
also heard that installing DirectX 7.0a (from microsoft.com) will
improve things quite a bit.

Find DxDiag.Exe in your Windows folder and launch it.  It will tell
you *everything* you can think of to ask about your DirectX install.
