The Ati Catalyst drivers don't work with this game at all and only the certified MS/Ati drivers work for around 15 minutes when I am lucky. I can't find anything wrong in my bios settings, and the videocard settings are standard. There seems to be no logic behind all this.
My last resort is buying a new videocard if I want to run those two games. I prefer to buy a used Radeon 9800 pro, but I can't take the risk with Ati this time and since nvidia also better supports Linux, I may go for the last one.
The card I may consider is a Geforce XFX VGA 7600GS 256Mb (around 120 euro). I am not sure if there is better value for money. This videocard will probably not be able to perform to the fullest with my CPU.

Well, to get ultimate performance out of the system you should ask someone that knows about it (a good friend, or someone you can trust he knows it) maybe he suggests a different Nvidia card that would run good with the other hardware you have. because its better to have a good balanced computer then a computer that has a good graphic card performance but cant go on its maximum because the CPU cannot comply with it.
