Hi,
I have 2 seperate boot partitions on my PC, both have Windows XP pro 
installed with exactly the same setup. Both have all the same patches etc 
applied, and are running the same programs. Both have exactly the same 
drivers for everything.

PC is an athlon xp 3200+, geforce 6800gt (agp), 512mb dual channel ram, abit 
an7 motherboard (nforce2).

I have a weird problem, where in one partition, everything runs fine - I 
have all the geforce settings to absolute maximum, and any game runs 
perfectly - such as pro evo soccer 4, knights of the old republic etc.

In the other partition, I have a lot of slowdown and jerkiness in these 
games. The games have the same performance options set up - they are 
installed in the same folder on a seperate partition, so they share the same 
files from both operating systems.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this in the 2nd partition - 
it has to be Windows related, since it does work in the other partition, but 
other than the drivers, geforce setup and game settings, I can't really 
think of anything to try changing...

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Daniel.
