The problems just keep coming with my win2k install. Now that my IDE problem with VIA is fixed... well, Win2k says that my video card is running on a PCI slot. The nVidia information states it is an AGP card, but windows "devices" states it as PCI. Now, DirectX can run anything I throw at it without flaw, but when I try to run Unreal Tournament (with patch 4.36) it is way way way choppy. What is there to do, or should I not be worried and assume it is just Unreal Tournament?
 
Have you installed the latest drivers for your mobo? ...including the AGP ones?

If yes, have you installed a service pack since you did it? If yes, install them again.

If that fails, remove the card in Device Manager, then reboot and see what happens when it's redetected.
 
There may be a switch in your bios that tells the computer where the video is coming from, PCI or AGP.
