i have a ati radeon 7500 128mb card...and i too had this horrible fps problem....i used to run windows Me, and i would only get like 15-20 fps on all maps! and on snowy it would fall down to under 10..it was unplayable...what fixed my problem was i finally got windows xp proffessional and reformatted. i found that my rates dramitically increased and since then i enjoy 45 fps during firefights outdoors and steady at 99fps inside in V2 rocket facility. i remember posting a thread very similiar to this one months ago..but i am too lazy to find it lol....many ppl suggested a new motherboard, but i gave up on that because since i had a factory bought dell machine...i didnt want to risk swiping it out only to have nothing work at all heh. my advice would be a clean reformat of your whole hard drive....and then reinstall everything...that should take care of any issues you have.
