[HLUG] 64 bit problems

[j michaelson]

hello everyone.

i've finally upgraded to 64 bit. i decided not to go for the opteron
144 chip because i wanted to use socket 939 and i decided to stick
with my agp 8x graphics card. here's what i bought.....

amd athlon 64 3200+ graphics card

gigabyte k8nsc motherboard

i rebuilt my computer with the new kit. installed 64 bit ubuntu.
activated the nvidia drivers. rebooted and installed unreal tournament
2004. i was surprised and disappointed to find out that i was actually
getting a slower framerate. i opened up a terminal and ran top only to
discover that unreal tournament was still hogging well over 90% of the
cpu usage just like it had on my old processor.

this is weird. i've gone from a 1.6ghz 32bit chip to a 2.0ghz 64bit
chip and unreal tournament has dropped from 60 fps down to less than
20. i can't make any sense of it.

does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
