I also installed the drivers off of http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3230688&lang=en except for the nvidia driver due to the new card I have, and even when I tried to install it said different version, file not compatiable.

Ok, my situation is that my computer lags in most games I play, I bought a 8600 gt 256mb and tossed out the nvidia 7200le because of this problem, ((((worked great)))) until I decided to reformat my PC and install vista.. but vista ran horriable so I reinstalled xp once again after reformating the computer and then I installed the latest drivers for 1. The monitor 2. The graphic card 3. The sound card 4. the chipset 5. direct x 9.0c but I still have framerate issues.. I have my monitor which is a vpr matrix set at 120hz on 800x600 I also tried to override the settings using dxdiag at 120hz but I still have issues, I posted below the specs.. but note I removed the geforce 7200le and replaced it with the card above. I was wondering if it might have something to do with my 350w power supply.. plz help me.. thanks.
