Default Post New to the ATI Family

I upgraded from a Geforce 3 ti500 to an ATI Radeon 9700pro. I am new to the drivers and the card but i have several questions:

- How come sometimes when i play CS my FPS are in the 40s?

- Is Truform good to have running? Because it seems to kill my gameplay sometimes in Madden 2003

- My Computer seems to think that i have 2 cards. A Primary and Secondary card. Both say ati Radeon 9700pro, but one the secondary one is using the ATI drivers, while the primary one is using the Omega drivers. Is that cool or normal?

- I have a old Mobo, so it limits the card at times, but sometimes the card just struggles for a couple of mins in windows XP and in games. WTF?

Thanks

1. Turn TruForm off, set to 32-bit instead of 16.ΕΎ
2. No. Turn it off.
3. No. Using same drivers for both is recommended (there are two because of primary and secondary display - when using two monitors)
4. That is what I don't know.
