I don't really know, but wouldn't you know, I'm going to reply anyway.
This page, found in a Google search for keywords nvidia 6100 and
scaling:
http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2539
....mentions only basic scaling capabilities of the 6100. While I don't
know exactly what that means, I thought it might have something to
do with it.
Another thought I had was something SP2 for XP must do, like installing
the Windows firewall or something. A guy at work had an eMachines
with a 1 GHz Celeron. After installing SP2, his video started to stutter.
I figured it was probably some service like the firewall, but he pissed
me off so I just put it back the way it was without investigating further.
You might try disabling the firewall, or turning off antivirus protection, if
any, to see if it helps. Otherwise, I would head over to systernals.com,
now owned by MS, and try to find some monitoring program and look
for a process or service that is not playing well with others. Or just get
a cheap dual core processor or buy an ATI card. AMD needs your
money!
