Reply: (edit)I don't know about Midnight Club 2, but BF1942 is pretty taxing on a system. I'm running this setup, and it runs pretty well, but not as well as I'd like it to... Athlon XP 2200+

Radeon 9700 Pro Are you running the resolution really high or anything?

Reply: (edit)Well, the best thing to do is this. Go to Nvidia.com and download the latest drivers for Geforce 4 Titanium. Next, check for any Windows Update/Direct X Update. There were some people saying that Geforce 4 Ti couldn't support Direct X 9. I have Geforce 4 Mx 440 /w Agp 8x, and my graphics card works very smoothly. Try going to Start -> Control Panel -> Display - Settings, and go to the Advanced Section.
If you correctly installed the drivers, you should be able to change/tweak your graphics performance and quality. If you don't, try finding a program called RivaTuner because this will allow you to tweak your Nvidia Video Card. Once you find one, you should overclock the video card(for faster performance) and remove VSYNC(could lower fps). Good Luck. Try finding Rivatuner at Nvidia or Search Engines(e.g, Yahoo!, Google)

Reply: (edit)i used to have the same problem. right click on my computer and bring up the device manger. select view by resource type and open irq's. make sure your video card is on its own irq.
