StarCraft Brood War Replay Problems

I have installed StarCraft BroodWar to the computer listed below. The game runs flawlessly with Patch 1.10 and networks on my LAN fine with other machines running XP Home and Win98se. The problem is watching replays (an especially enjoyable pastime for me!). The replays on this machine at 16x replay only run about as fast as 2x or slower on all my other machines. Why is this? The GX 270 should blow all the other machines out of the water given the CPU and amount of RAM. Even my bottom-of-the-line Inspiron Laptop running XP Home with SHARED VIDEO memory on the integrated video card runs replays faster. I upgraded the 512meg RAM that came with the machine to a total of 2.5gig with no improvement.
Spyware and Antivirus scans come up empty and the GX270 runs fine in all other applications. Suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
