I don't think that this is an issue with the video driver. I am using
similar card (Riva TNT2 with 32 MB of ram AGP) I am running on a slower
machine with the same amount of ram and I do not have any problems with
graphics performance. For 2D drawing I would not expect the AGP/PCI to
make that much of a difference in the performance. There must be
something else going on here.
