ATI Radeon 9800 Mobility
First the specs on my system just to get that out of the way:
P4 3.4Ghz Proc
2GB Ram
ATI Radeon 9800 256mb Mobility
Now the problem, I have the R106662 drivers (latest) from the site, and have even set the ati control panel to lean towards the performance options, and yet I am getting low framerates.
In an older game I play somtimes (Medal of Honor) I dont seem to have any problems, the in game FPS meter often plays at 70+ FPS
But more often now I play World of Warcraft, and have gotten CoD, CoD UO, and a couple other higher end games compared to MoH, on any of those I do not seem to be able to get over 20 FPS.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts, anything I might be missing. I did even try installing the radeon catalyst drivers from ati site but couldnt from there, their checker said it wouldnt work. Thanks for any help.

You could try using the modified Omega drivers or use the ATI drivers from the ATI website plus the modding tool I have linked below to install them.

The odd time EVE will load up and run fine on it for a "Period" of time, but 90% of the time it's a disastor. Allmost seems heat realted. Any Suggestions?
I tried the latest Omega Drivers, but they don't seem too compatable with the 9100.

This is kind of a dissapointment that it's not right on the dell site saying clean your system fans on these hi end graphics models.

I went ahead and installed the Catalyst 6.3 drivers with the mod tool. Everything is working great so far.
My 3DMark05 score is now 2918 but my CPUMark score dropped down to 3605 where it used to be 3686 after I upgraded to 2GB of main memory.
