Are you sure its a 128 not a 256?

Have you downloaded latest DirectX?Plus all your updates and drivers that are required after formatting?

Check device manager and us it to ensure ALL drivers are installed correctly.

Does your mobo have a x4 or x8 AGP slot?

All the drivers are installed. There are no yellow "question marks" in device manager. I should probably mention that when i JUST turn a game on (for example, GTA), it runs alright on the highest res, and then progressively gets worse until it's unplayable. Changing the res does nothing. I;ve considered overheating, but I do have 2 fans running in addition to the CPU fan and the video card fan, so that's unlikely.

Downloading DirectX now. Im considering buying an nvidia 6200 just to see if it fixes the problem because I suspect a problem with the hardware. Thanks for all your help guys

Hmm, you wouldn't have an extra gig to throw in for RAM would you? To see if performance stays stable at 2Gbs?

If you have a 1024mbs stick already, getting a second one would be a better choice then a 512Mbs stick. I can recommend using TigerDirect since you're in Canada correct?

Thanks. I'm looking on the tigerdirect site, and ram i need is ddr400, but it also says "pc3200". I dont know what that means and it doesnt say anything like that on my old ram. What does it mean and is it compatible?
