First I ran 3d mark and scored a lil' over 4700 which was an improvement from the ati 7200 card that scored 3600+
anyway..my question is why is it that im only getting on average 10-12fps on bf1942 on medium video settings but when i run UT2K3 on max settings across the board it runs great w/ no problems...?
If there is anyone who can give me some assistance i'd be greatly appreciated..:wave:

check if there is a patch for BF1942, that might fix the problem.

PS. Compaq sucks.

It's probably because of your AGP aperture size. You have a 128 MB card, which is DDR SDRAM, right? It's a general rule to set AGP aperture to at least double your video RAM. Go into your BIOS and set your AGP aperture to 256, or since you have the extra memory, 384 or even 512 if you want.
