Resolved! See posts by Soapy.
My dad bought a computer which came pre-installed with Windows™ Vista. Sure enough I had some Vista related problems...
First thing I did was set up some basic things (like remove all that crap they toss on there and install Firefox and Foobar2000).
Then I installed MS, it was all good. Until I noticed I was getting a really low frame rate. Sure enough the frame rate was averaging ~15 in an empty FM room. So I logged off (of MS), installed the most up to date graphics drivers and updated to Vista Service Pack 1. Which did absolutely nothing (maybe ~1 FPS faster on average).
So I tried to observe where it lagged the worse (Zakum Body 3 was the worse with a low of 1.27 FPS for more than 5 seconds - I lived!). However on the boat ride to Orbis inside the boat I was able to get 40 FPS (amazing!). There were no NPCs, portals, monsters, or people. So obviously more objects is a lower FPS. What should I do? Should I go steal my sister's Window XP CD, download all the drivers, and install Windows XP? Or should I just give up and toss bananas at random pedestrians?
