should not have anything to do with ram size
in bios, turn fast write on, and cache to 128mb

do dxdiag in run and see if it shows any errors
it could be your card overheating due to bad ventilation in your case

Default Dont think its Overheating!!!

Thanks for the Advice however in the Bios my fastwrites are enabled and my AGP Apeture Size is 128Mb, no problems in DXDiag at all.
Also other games such as Max Payne and SOF II run no problem. If it was the card overheating then i think id notice it with all Apps.

This Issue could well be Software, I have also tried CAT 2.5 and 3.1 Drivers and the outcome is the same - PLEASE HELP anyone..

Cheers - Magpie

I know for a fact, Max Payne and 3dmark use D3D.

actually I think all of those do.
