There is quite an increase in framerate with the third part nVidia drivers, mentioned in this thread, which are obtainable at http://www.dhzeropoint.net. I've noticed an average of about double the total frames per second on my machine...

Before, my framerate would always be around 45-55 frames per second, and never above 60. Now, my framerate rarely drops below 70, and is usually up around 90 to 120. My specs are P4 3.4GHz HT, GeForce FX5300 PCI-X, and 1 GB of RAM, if anyone's interested. Also note that I'm running Renegade at 800x600 with full details.

I was beginning to think that I just suck in picking out computer parts, since most games also got such crappy framerate for me, even with a quite decent setup. Now, I've come to realize just how much of a difference the drivers you use can make... even though I probably do still suck at picking out computer parts. Now pretty much all of my games get an expected framerate... except for Half Life 2, which still seems to get nasty fps. Of course, that game also takes about a minute to load levels, too... whereas loading levels on any other game is pretty much a snap of a finger (maybe two) and viola, it's loaded.
