Get a new computer
For a start: What brand/model GF/X card ? Running D3 on D3D or OGL ? What's running in the background ?

if the fps still drop to no good with the \"-nosound\" command line option, seperate vga and sound card ressources (IRQ!) or get a better sound card (which is still no guarantee for more speed). hercules cards performed very well last time i checked.

Click Start/Run and type in \"dxdiag\" (without quotes) and hit OK.

Since the guy never followed up I'll lock it. Seems like a waste of time.
