I hate to say this, but I'll bet both your cpu and video card are 'maxed
out.'
Here's why. I had a k6233, and 800x600 got just the same framerate
as 640x480. This told me the cpu was limiting my framerate to the
high ***s when any other cars were around. I got a celeron 300a going
at 450 mhz and, at 800x600, gained only a few fps. This told me that
the v1 would only do the low 20's in 800x600. Then I switched to 640x480
and now I get very driveable framerate practically always (ok, spinning
'round in a cloud of smoke bogs down). It starts in the high ***s on
the starting line but quickly zips up to the 30's and rarely dips below
25 during racing (except maybe monaco? haven't driven that one much).
