Seems like something is eating up some resources to me... That config should give out more fps than that... Check the startup items that are being loaded and make sure its not a lot. Also if you are using XP be sure to turn the appearance to classic view and effects off. With that system though you should use win 98se or win2k.. What os are you using? what resolution are you playing at?
