Yes, I did. I started off from the desktop, then opened up B&W2 and loaded from where I was playing.[/quote]

If there is no typo here then that would suggest that your CPU is running at <700Mhz.... which would also suggest that you have Cool'n'Quiet enabled? (i was expecting your divider to be something like ... im guessing it was 1/14? Cuz that would be the correct divider.
No, I don't think I have Cool'n'Quiet enabled.

Another mistake it was CPU/14

Now I do have a suggestion to try ...
1. Remove the memory stick in DIMM2 (it's the Kingston stick ... the one that is PC2700)
2. Repeat what i suggested here but set it to 400
3. The value you posted here should now say Frequency = 200, FSB-DRAM = CPU/11

Now if that works as i hope/expect then we can move on (yes without that 512MB stick of RAM .. for now at least)
Ok, I removed the Kingston stick and changed the Memclock Value to 400.

But the Frequency is still 157.9 MHZ and the FSB-DRAM is still CPU/14

I'm positive I removed the correct one, here's the registry dump to confirm:

1. Use the program FRAPS to record you FPS in b&W2
http://www2.fraps.com/FRAPS264.EXE
I had fraps running when I did the previous test. Not recording just showing the FPS. It was an average of 7.

2. Download 3dmark and run all the test and tell me all your scores.
http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark05.shtml
Also hit detail in 3dmark and give me a copy of the page that is display with all your computer information and video card information.
I'll do this later. I have things running that I can't stop ATM, so it would probably interfere.
