I've tried upgrading the AGP drivers from the motherboard makers website and updating ATI drivers to newest version but SL still doesn't give me the ability to enable it. I'm using a SIS735 motherboard with a 1.5ghz Athlon XP processer and i'm only getting a max of 15 frames per second. I'm not really sure what's going on.

Hey,

First question is: is that ATI in an AGP or a PCI-E slot? I remember when I started in SL, Travis Lambert gave me a card (which I don't have anymore, it seems) that suggested to turn off AGP mode if you have a PCI-E card. It's not necessary, and it may slow down your client-side number crunching.

If you have an AGP, I don't know what to do.

If you do have a PCI-E, I hope this helps.

Good luck!

15fps ish is pretty normal for SL -.-; , just wait youll see its usually about 5-7fps average when you see other people and do stuff.

Radeon 9200
doubt it would give you 1 fps if you get it on really.
