    Hate to say it but if you've already fiddled with the drivers, you may just have a faulty card.

    I told him that games that require a lot of juice like NFS: Cabon require a beefier card than a integraded chip. I thought that was why he was having problems...

    yeah my concern comes when why my sister has 128mb on agp and runs ok and I having pci-x 128 plus turbocache up to 512 can't run the same game :s

    To be fair, although the 7100GS is rubbish, I don't think it's as slow as an FX5200. I wouldn't recommend running NFS Carbon on either, but if it works with one, I fail to see why it wouldn't work on the other.
