Bandipat, thanks for your efforts. Lots of scratching around and I still havent found the problem.
But it magically sorted itself out (that or it just needed a reboot) and when I tried gears today it worked. Sort of. The framerates aren't what I expect, they're only about double what I used to get on a TNT2 Vanta 16mb. The gears are jerky, and I also notice that gears don't use 100% CPU like it used to.
Card is a Powercolor Radeon 7500 with 128mb DDR. Are these scores right?

Thanks Hans ===============
Hans, That looks satisfactory to me as I compare it to my 7200 I was using prior to the 9200 I have now. You still may not be getting the full use of your agp, but this should be nice for all your 3D stuff. Ben, I believe is running the 7500 or was, so he may be able to comment further on your results.
