Is my card or system not fast enough for this program or is their some compatibility problem? System: Intel PIII-750MHz, 768 meg RAM, Windows XP, and the RADEON card on a 21" monitor at 1024x768x16. ( I have loaded the latest drivers for the motherboard and video card).

P.S. - How does one determine your frame rate? I see them listed everywhere thoughout these messages?

The fact that u have 768mb of ram is the problem. Anything over 510mbram slows down the system . The fact that u have 760mb of ram means ur system is probably down to a crawl at this point.take out ram until u get down to 510mb of ram. Take back the extra ram that u jsut took out or sell it and get urself a new processor. Now u don't have to get a new processor or anything new but defintly no matter wut take out some ram until u get down to 510mbram.
