Fricking Drivers - Please Help

I followed the reformat instructions on this site just to make sure I didn't noob all over myself. The problem is that when I imported the drivers using drivermax I reacquired the same slow CPU performance which was the reason for the reformat. Any way to tell which driver is causing the issue?

Thanks,

Crystal

    Mostly when opening programs, Firefox takes ages to load and before the driver import it was running like a champ. I haven't attempted WoW or iTunes yet, I'm not even sure if I should go ahead and download them...or just make rude gestures at my computer. It's a toss up. Thanks for the welcome!

    And lastly, can you read what your video card is in the display adapters section? :)

    I'm collecting links for you.

    You're awesome, thanks =D

    ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP

    There is a known issue with updating the drivers for the AGP version of this card. I was considering switching to Omega drivers but wanted to test the gaming performance now that I've reformatted.

    Definitely go ahead and give the Omega drivers a shot:

    It's like you've saved my drowning baby. Seriously, if it wasn't 4am I would do a white girl dance and make an effort to write 5 pages of bullet points entailing all of your apparent awesomeness. However, seeing as it is 4am, I'm just going to say thank you SO much and get myself to sleep.
