this doesn't sound like a hardware problem at all. Your system is pretty decend and there shouldn't be any problem running GW. My old card is a GeForce 4 and it runs GW at 1/4 setting pretty smooth.

Have you "hacked" Firefox so it uses more bandwith(more recuests) per page?
I know this is something alot of ppl do, and as a result the IP provider throttles the connection.

For speed tests I use speedguide.net lot's of options.

i didn't read all the posts, because i don't have much time, but you could also lower the sound quality. Start GW>options> turn the slider of the lowest bar to the left.

I hope you get higher fps
