my pc: AMD Athlon XP 2800+, Geil Dual Channel 1GB RAM, GeForce MX 440 with AGP 8x (soon to be GeForce 6600 128MB AGP 8x), integrated audio from my mobo (supposed to be better than a soundblaster live), a Samsung SpinPoint P Series 80GB hard drive

well i have a pentium 3 500MHz but thats not the problem. wait...... my processor supports SSE and MMX and i heard that if they are disabled it can cause a MAJOR performance drop, could it be that?
