new graphics card installed and now BF is jerky

[Colder]

i just bought the Radeon X800GTO GDDR3 256mb AGP 4x/8x video card and installed, updated to the cat 6.1 driver off of the ati website, and now when i load and play BF2 and BF2 SF it's really choppy, like i'm getting serious lag, but my ping never went on 60 on the servers i was playing on. I need help.

system specs are as follows:

CPU: AMB Althon 64 3400+
GPU: stated above
Memory: 2 gig Corsair XMS
OS: WinXP Pro
HDD: 250gig

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

did u make sure to uninstall the old drivers and the old video card with like add/remove hardware and add/remove programs (im not familiar with ati, but with nvidia all u need to do is uninstall the drivers)

also make sure to delete the bf2 cache files, they probably need to be reset cause of your new card. I acctually had to reinstall BF2 when i upgraded my video card to make it work right.
