I have the Radeon 9700 Pro and also get low fps in some maps. By low I mean below 20 once in a while. From what I've read in the past some game engines depend just as much on your CPU as they do your GPU. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Quake3 engine with it's particulate effects are CPU hogs. I have a lowly AMD Athlon 950Mhz (for now) and it has become my weakest link. Your 1Ghz chip may be causing your problem.

Anyone else out there have any ideas?
