maybe videocard optimizations
in some cases
a gpu designer ex nvidia/ati specifically optimize the gpu and its specs (rops, pix pipes, vert pipes etc. and other things that i have no idea about to run a specific type of code. example some direct x9 cards depending on clock rate and a bunch of other specs perform worse than their predecessors on running dx8.
i know this makes no sense seeing as how the code is basically identical excluding the fact that the length of shaders moved from like 10 to 600,000.
this may be the case with your videocard the 7600 is a cost effective gpu maybe nvida removed some of the steps in accelerating specific types of old code in place for the new dx9.0c or sm3.0.
also this is a 3d accelerator videocard it does accelerate 2d as well but ive never heard of a 3d menu gui with the exception of the chronicles of riddick.
anyways back to the subject your 2d *acceleartory* (made up word)
needs are therefore an afterthought and also may have been degraded as part of cost efficiency.
this may also explain why your old integrated graphics were really good at 2d acceleration. the designers of the pcb probablyt thought no one will be using this for hardcore games like oblivion. but they will be using word and excell.
my assumtions are based on the fact that windows uses a 2d layered gui to currently manage all of your open windows and programs.
the firts 3d layered guis will arrive with vista and dx10.
so you may just have to suck it up on your slow 2d acceleration.
as for tomb raider. the quality of many of the textures are huge not to mention all of the new "negt-gen" cinematic effects.
faster ram on your system or a plain out faster videocard preferably from ati who convinently puts 512mb of gddr3 on their videocards may help a whole lot.
hint* this is the only reason that this is the only game i dont kick the ass of on "system requirements labs" http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest (use this to see how much you can handle.
Tomb raider reccomends 512mb on the videocard due to the huge/high quality textures.
i hope my advice helped you
